Become Language Agnostic by Combining the Power of R with Python using Reticulate

Description:

Language Wars have always been there for ages and it's got a new candidate with Data science booming - R vs Python. While the fans are fighting R vs Python, the creators (Hadley Wickham (Chief DS @ RStudio) and Wes McKinney (Creator of Pandas Project)) are working together as Ursa Labs team to create open source data science tools. A similar effort by RStudio has given birth to Reticulate (R Interface to Python) that helps programmers combine R and Python in the same code, session and project and create a new kind of super hero.

Outline:

      * Why R and Python?
           * Moving away from R vs Python
           * Cases where both the langauges together will help
      * Introduction to Reticulate
           * What's about the package `reticulate`
           * How to install reticulate
           * Basic Functions
        * Python Engine
           * Understanding about Python Engine in the local Machine
           * Select Different Engine for Reticulate Session
        * Code Outline
           * Layout/Structure of the Code
           * Presence of R
           * Presence of Python
           * Object Interaction
        * Sample Use-case Explanation
           * What's the use-case
           * Spacy - Outline
           * RMarkdown - Outline
