Most of the software materials are based on an early draft of the (eventually forthcoming) book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the tlverse, or a Targeted Learning Practitioner's Handbook, by Mark van der Laan, Alan Hubbard, Jeremy Coyle, Nima Hejazi, Ivana Malenica, and Rachael Phillips. For a work-in-progress draft of the unabridged book, please see https://tlverse.org/tlverse-handbook or the associated GitHub repository: https://github.com/tlverse/tlverse-handbook.

Travis-CI Build Status Note: travis-ci currently deploys the developmental version of this workshop handbook into the gh-pages branch of this repository, which is hosted by GitHub Pages at https://tlverse.org/deming2019-workshop.

The software materials are automatically built and deployed using Binder, which supports using R and RStudio, with libraries pinned to a specific snapshot on MRAN. An RStudio session, pre-loaded with all the materials, is available via Binder
