This hands-on day is designed to get people up to speed with some of the fundamentals of R. Split into two halves you can learn the very basics in the morning and then progress into working with databases and making your code reusable in the afternoon.

Attend one or both halves of the day, depending on your current experience with R and what you'd like to learn.

If you’re like me, you like your data to stick around for a long time and most importantly you want to know it’s safe.

In the Docker world, there’s the maxim of “never patch”, always make a new container with the latest version of the application. If we’re sticking in our database in a container like Microsoft are doing with SQL Server now, what happens when we need to apply the latest patches? Will we lose our data?

In this talk, we’ll look at the sorts of data we need to think about (it’s not just databases!) and how Docker containers work. We’ll then look at how we can save our data from disappearing when we load a new version of our Docker container. Once we know how to safeguard ourselves, we’ll look at some of the architectural options you have when working with data and Docker.
