Remembr Helps You Remember!
Remembr is a package to help you learn and remember what you learned in R. If you aren’t familiar with it, visit the homepage. If are are already a user, this page will teach you how to install custom flashcards related to books you may have read or talks you may have heard.
The more you can remember, the better data scientist, programmer, and statistician you will be!
Card Decks Help You Remember Things You Read
I recently read a book called Advanced R by Hadley Wickham. It teaches programming skills, and a better understanding of the R language.
I loved the book, but it was so jam-packed with useful information that I didn’t retain a lot of it. The facts were in my reading-mind as I was reading the book, but they didn’t make it into my coding-brain. It was a big interruption in my coding flow if I had to look something up, even if I knew where to look it up. I felt it would be helpful to study the book as if it was teaching me a new vocabulary.
I had trouble remembering what I learned.
This package is designed to help with that problem. It allows you to turn the code from a book chapter or talk into a set of flashcards. You can add those flashcards into your personalized set of flashcards using the addCardDeck function. Here is an example, for chapter 2 of Advanced R:
remembr::addCardDeck( "advanced-r-vectors")To add a card deck to your personalized flashcards, first, make sure you installed remembr by following the directions here. Then just copy the line of code for the chapter you are interested.
Other prepared card decks are listed below!
