Slides of my Talk at the R Users Meetup Geneva

This July I had the chance to speak at the R Users Meetup Geneva. I shared the learnings of my year-long exploration of the tidyverse through blogging. It was such a pleasure to meet and discuss with other R users as passionnate as I am!

Super happy to see nearly 20 people showing up this evening @GenevaRUsers ! Thanks everybody for coming 👏 and @lgnbhl for the inspiring 💫 talk! pic.twitter.com/Da8fzVcKv1

I obviously had to make my slides using R. Afer some research, I discovered the revealjs package, which allows to create reveal.js presentations using R Markdown.

I made this presentation writing only two lines of code by slide. Check it out!
