Learning Together at the Data Science Learning Community - Jon Harmon

Do you have a bookshelf full of R books that you’ve been meaning to read, but haven’t gotten around to yet? The Data Science Learning Community (DSLC) can help you achieve your learning goals! You may have heard of us previously as the R4DS Online Learning Community, but we’re about much more than any single book. We organize weekly book clubs to help data science learners and practitioners read books such as R for Data Science, Advanced R, and Mastering Shiny. In contrast with other online book clubs, our safe, nurturing, small-group cohorts finish reading their books cover-to-cover. Come learn the tips and tricks that lead to the success of our clubs. Also learn how we support one another by asking and answering programming questions in our friendly and inclusive Slack help channels, and how we work to ensure that every question receives an answer. Discover how you can help us expand into additional high-level topics by getting the support you need to learn those topics yourself. Whether you’re brand new to R or are a seasoned veteran, we have something for you!
