Thanks again to @NISS_DataSci for inviting me to give a virtual tutorial on #Rcpp for extending #RStats with @isoCpp. Slides are (as usual) on my talks page at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/talks.…; the video recording should be(come) available for NISS affiliates.

Endorse! This sounds a lot like the first four weeks of my STAT 447 (cf stat447.com) course! If someone wanted get in touch to offer this as a day-long workshop my arm could likely be twisted. The rest of Mike's thread is good too, as usual 😉
I'm not yet qualified to give advice on the job market, but if you're an academic hoping to hit the ground running as a data scientist in industry, here are some potentially useful tips: ‣ Round out your programming skills–be okay or comfortable with git, bash, SQL.

Please help test #RStats 4.2.0 I added a first alpha release to @debian unstable: `apt install -t unstable r-base-core` will get it. I also updated the #RockerProject r-base container with tag 4.2.0. I plan to update them every few days until release on April 22. Please test.

The #Rcpp website has been refreshed, but still has quick intros, pointers to the ten vignettes, the gallery, 2500+ #Rstats packages using #Rcpp, and the book. At rcpp.org (and yes, I should order a https cert)

Hey, look, round number at CRAN! A big, big thank you to the CRAN maintainers who are volunteers putting together an unparallel repository with unmatched quality guarantees, year in and out. Very much appreciated! (Even if #RStats package authors like myself grumble at times.)

The second (and more advanced, covering 'live' (financial) market monitoring via pub/sub) of the two new vignettes in package `RcppRedis` is now also on arXiv at, respectively, arxiv.org/abs/2203.08323, and doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2203.…. #rcpp #rstats
