JavaScript for Data Science

Toby Hodges is a bioinformatician turned community coordinator, working on the Bio-IT Project at EMBL. He teaches a lot of courses in computing, organizes a lot of communitybuilding events, listens to a lot of punk rock, and occasionally still finds time to write code and ride his bike. Toby would like to thank his wife for her support and patience while he swore about how annoying JavaScript is to debug. Greg Wilson has worked for 35 years in both industry and academia, and is the author or editor of several books on computing and two for children. He co-founded [Software Carpentry][carpentries], a non-profit organization that teaches basic computing skills to researchers, and is now part of the education team at RStudio.
