The Tidyverse of Essential R Libraries and their Python Analogues, with Dr. Hadley Wickham

Added on April 30, 2024 by Jon Krohn.

Many-time bestselling author and prolific open-source R developer Hadley Wickham is our guest today. In it, we discuss Posit's rebrand and why the Tidyverse needs to be in every data scientist's toolkit.

More on Hadley:
• Chief Scientist at Posit PBC
• Adjunct Professor of Statistics at Stanford University, Rice University and The University of Auckland.
• Is best-known as the creator of the Tidyverse suite of open-source R libraries for data science, including the essential libraries dplyr and ggplot2.
• Has written seminal books on R programming for O'Reilly, Springer and CRC Press, including the mega-bestselling "R for Data Science".

Today’s episode will primarily be of interest to hands-on practitioners like data scientists and machine learning engineers. In it, Hadley details:
• Why the iconic open-source company RStudio rebranded to Posit.
• The philosophy of the tidyverse, amusing backstories on its most iconic packages and why the tidyverse is invaluable for all data scientists to be familiar with.
• The open-source projects he’s most excited about today.
• How you can easily get involved with career-bolstering open-source projects yourself.
