This WEBSITE was made with R!?
What is R?
R is quickly becoming the go to programming language for Data Analysis. Scholars with no background in Computer Science are able to grasp R because it is syntactically simple compared to other languages. Although there is some learning curve, compared to SPSS and Excel, it is easier to clean, analyze, and visualize data.
What is Quarto
Quarto is an additional program designed to compliment R. It uses R’s markdown feature, which allows you to create documents, such as journal articles, while integrating charts/graphs directly from R. Quarto takes this a step further and allows you to write books, websites, and other documents using R. This means that scholars who are familiar with the R language can create their own custom websites.
This Site
This files for this site are available on my Github for all to see. When you view the .qmd files, you can see exactly what I have to type in order to program this website. In future posts, I hope to create easy to follow tutorials, so that I can help academics make personal websites and blogs just like this one!
