R and Python, a Data Science Love Story


A webinar presentation by RStudio

Live on January 16, 2020 at 11am-12pm EST

What You'll Learn
Many Data Science teams today are bilingual, leveraging both R and Python in their work. While both languages are tremendously powerful, teams frequently struggle to use them together. We’ve heard from our customers how even experienced data scientists familiar with both languages often struggle to combine them without painful context switching and manual translations. Data Science leaders and business stakeholders find it difficult to make key data science content easily discoverable and available for decision-making, and IT Admins and DevOps engineers grapple with how to efficiently support these teams. 
In this webinar, you will learn how RStudio helps Data Science teams tackle all these challenges, and make the Love Story between R and Python a happier one: 
  • Easily combine R and Python in a single Data Science project
  • Leverage a single infrastructure to launch and manage Jupyter Notebooks and JupyterLab environment, as well as the RStudio IDE
  • Organize and share Jupyter Notebooks alongside your work in R and your mixed R and Python projects.
This webinar will show examples of all these capabilities, and discuss the benefits of leveraging R and Python.
