Participants will gain confidence in writing simple scripts and working with Python’s basic structures. \n \n Learn more and register URL:https://oarc.rutgers.edu/event/python-foundations/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251022T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251022T170000 DTSTAMP:20260413T033457 CREATED:20220318T144508Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250915T162636Z UID:6881-1761147000-1761152400@oarc.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Data Publication 1 DESCRIPTION:Creating reproducible research\, literate programming documents\, and using knitr\, Sweave\, blogdown\, and bookdown\nThe RStudio environment enables the easy creation of documents in various formats (HTML\, DOC\, PDF) using Rmarkdown\, while knitr allows the incorporation of executable R code to produce the tables and figures in those documents. Sweave provides more advanced LaTeX typesetting\, while blogdown and bookdown allow the easy creation of formatted documents in both web-compatible and print formats. This session introduces these concepts and other packages and practices supporting reproducibility with the R environment. \nSupplemental materials are available. \n \n Learn more and register URL:https://oarc.rutgers.edu/event/data-publication1-10-22-2025/ CATEGORIES:Research END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251022T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251022T131500 DTSTAMP:20260413T033457 CREATED:20230911T134559Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250915T162431Z UID:9079-1761134400-1761138900@oarc.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Introduction to ArcGIS Pro DESCRIPTION:A Geographic Information System\, also known as GIS\, can be a very useful tool for your research by incorporating location when exploring your questions. \nIn this short\, interactive workshop\, we will focus on ArcGIS Pro basics\, explore the interface\, add and visualize data\, create a map layout which we can either export as a PDF or share as a web map. Previous knowledge of geographic information systems (GIS) is not expected. \n* Make sure to register for an ArcGIS Online account before the start of the workshop. \n* Please also download the ArcGIS Pro application. This requires a Microsoft Windows operating system. Details and information for installing the application may be found at the University Software Portal. \nThe application is also available through the Rutgers Virtual Computer Labs. An ArcGIS Online account is needed to log into ArcPro. \n \n Learn more and register URL:https://oarc.rutgers.edu/event/introduction-to-gis-with-arcpro/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251021T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251021T153000 DTSTAMP:20260413T033457 CREATED:20240119T192030Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250915T162157Z UID:9863-1761055200-1761060600@oarc.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:R graphics with ggplot2 DESCRIPTION:The ggplot2 package from the tidyverse provides extensive and flexible graphical capabilities within a consistent framework.  This session introduces the main features of ggplot2. Some prior familiarity with R is assumed (packages\, structure\, syntax)\, but the presentation can be followed without this background. \nSupplemental materials are available. \n \n Learn more and register URL:https://oarc.rutgers.edu/event/r-graphics-with-ggplot2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251020T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251020T130000 DTSTAMP:20260413T033457 CREATED:20240118T210656Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251007T182131Z UID:9758-1760961600-1760965200@oarc.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Data science basics: introduction to Python 2 - from basics to data DESCRIPTION:Once you’ve taken your first steps with Python\, it’s time to do more. In this workshop\, we’ll go further into how Python can help you work with information. You’ll learn how to handle collections of data\, write simple reusable code\, and explore how to pull meaning out of datasets. By working hands-on with examples\, you’ll see how coding can become a useful everyday tool\, not just something for computer scientists. \n \n Learn more and register URL:https://oarc.rutgers.edu/event/data-science-basics-introduction-to-python-2/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
