Introduction to writing reproducible reports in R using Quarto (Session 1)

This class will introduce people to Quarto, which is a reporting and presentation creation tool in Rstudio (now Posit).

It assumes that you have taken the equivalent of the CSTAT R class You Can Learn R! Part 1 (Seminar), but you don't have to have experience with Rmarkdown or Quarto.

This session will cover:

• What Quarto is.
• What Quarto can do for you.
• The components of a Quarto file.
• How to give R commands in a Quarto file.
• How to add/remove commands to a Quarto file.
• If you already use R Markdown: Quarto can render most R markdown files; learn about differences

Please also sign up for Session 2, where we will write reports.

You can bring your own computer, or work on the computers in the MSU computer lab. We will use R on on Posit Cloud (formerly RStudio Cloud), so everything will be set up. Instructions will be sent before the class.
