Training tutorial suggestions

[critmcdonald]

This list needs to be recast around this philosophy: "Tutorials focused on feats of skills instead of on specific packages."

• Might do a basic "most popular functions" tutorial that shows examples of all the functions in RWDIR.
• group_by/summarize/arrange. (this might come in handy)
• Using count() and tabyl()
  • count with filter. df |> summarize(new_col = sum(col == "value"))
  • Include how to turn a tabyl into a regular tibble
  • Maybe count and tabyl are separate? Or at least separate pages in the same folder?
  • Can look at rwdir count for ideas.
• Pivoting
• Advanced select()
• Using across() and filter_at()
• parsing strings
• Bind & Join
• iterations with map(). Like importing multiple files. Can start with CHJ examples and whatever we do for NICAR25
• Using slice() and related
• Converting data types
• ggplot? How much of this?
• DT (datatable), data.table and gt
• filtering techniques %in% or negate with %ni%. Include pull()
• read/write even using rio package
• using execution options in Quarto
• Tips on making Quarto websites? This could be The Way.
• another map() idea: Run count() on every column in a tibble?. See tutorial and this post
• Using an API. Perhaps rwars that connects with SWAPI at https://swapi.dev/. Would using http2 be better today?
• Scraping?
