Introducing the Quarto Workflow in Positron: A Video Tutorial and Guide! 🎬 We've released a new video tutorial and blog post by Charlotte Wickham that walks through creating and customizing your Quarto documents inside Positron, the modern IDE designed for data science. Quarto is a powerful system that lets you combine executable code (Python, R, etc.) and narrative text to easily create professional-grade reports, presentations, and websites. No more copy-pasting code and results! Here's why Positron is great for Quarto users: • Positron comes with the Quarto command-line interface and extension pre-installed. You can start working immediately without complex setup steps. • The IDE provides dedicated buttons and commands (like "Quarto: Preview" and "Quarto: New Document") that make rendering, inserting code cells, and checking your work quick and simple. • Inside your Quarto code cells, you get the same support as any other code file, including code completion, linting (to catch simple errors), and direct integration with Positron's console and data viewers.

Announcing ggplot2 4.0.0: A Significant Update to the R Visualization Framework We are pleased to announce the release of ggplot2 4.0.0. This major update, which arrived on the package's 18th anniversary, includes substantial architectural shifts and a suite of features designed to improve the experience for R/Tidyverse data scientists and package developers alike. This version focuses on making plot customization and labeling more intuitive, addressing the need for both simplified theming and a more robust foundation for extensibility. Key features and benefits of ggplot2 4.0.0: • Revamped theming system: Layer styling defaults are now controlled by themes using new "ink" and "paper" roles, leading to greater consistency. New helper functions like theme_sub_axis_x() are introduced to streamline verbose and often chaotic theme declarations. • Smarter variable labeling: The package now uses the 'label' attribute from data column metadata (common in packages like gt and Hmisc) as the default label. You can also supply a labs(dictionary) for consistent, human-readable labels across plots. • Architectural upgrade to S7: The core object system has been rewritten from S3 to S7. This provides a more robust structure, enforces stricter type checking, and enables powerful new capabilities for extension developers. 🎉 Join the ggplot2 4.0.0 Release Party! Want to dive deeper into the changes and learn about the new architecture? Join Teun van den Brand and the ggplot2 extenders community for a virtual celebration and discussion. • Oct 3 at 3:00 PM ET • Sign up: bit.ly/join-gg-extenders Learn more about the full capabilities and changes in this release: https://lnkd.in/gFQGAkf5

How does an IDE help a data science team build the right products, not just write the code? Dr. Claire Welsh lead data scientist and product owner at the NHS-R Community, has shared her hands-on experience with it. In a recent article, she highlights how Positron is not just for data scientists, but also for those in supporting roles who require a seamless, multi-faceted workflow. Claire, who works as a product owner, uses Positron to bridge the gap between technical development and stakeholder needs: • Positron's built-in GitHub interface allows for effortless management of pull requests and issues, a massive benefit for maintaining a focused workflow and curating product backlogs. • The IDE's seamless support for Quarto simplifies the creation of plans, processes, and documentation. • The dedicated testing sidebar makes it easy to run and manage tests, which is crucial for a product owner who needs to understand the user experience and functionality of an app. • While it uses a different project management approach than RStudio, Positron's folder-based workflow and the Project Manager Extension provide a clean way to switch between and organize multiple projects. This article provides a unique perspective on how modern data science IDEs can be used to support the entire project lifecycle, not just the code-writing phase. 🔎 Check it out here! https://lnkd.in/eyXQgMEt
