  • Testing workflows with small versions of test data
  • On basics of Docker
  • A full one on linting
  • A full one on typing
  • Package management best practices for R

  • Intro to R
  • Intro to python
  • Package management/development in python (pip and PyPI) - this might be more legwork because (from what I've found) there aren't as good and concise resources for this as there are for R packages

After we run Intro to Python, it could be fun to cover things like pandas, matplotlib, plotly, etc. in greater depth! I'd be happy to help with those. I personally could also benefit from a ggplot tutorial...

I think having package development workshops for both Python and R would be super helpful - perhaps we could even come up with a standard template for folks to start with? I've been pulling together info from random web resources...

I love those ideas!

I don't even think i can count the number of times i've taught ggplot. I'm more than happy to do it again. do you think we need an intro to R series like python in order to do an intro to ggplot, or if I cover how to read in a CSV is that enough? there is some stuff with ggplot (like data should be in long format most of the time), but a lot of times you can get the plot you want without it.

Great idea. For sourmashconsumr, I used on website basically exclusively (https://r-pkgs.org/)...I guess there isn't something similar for python?

Teaching people how to write a tutorial (for something like prehgt, noveltree, PC)

+1 to discussing Docker basics, I'm trying to figure it out and it's hard to know where to begin
