Getting started with Quarto

Quarto is an open-source system for scientific and technical publishing. It's a bit like a jupyter notebook on steroids.

Quarto provides a unified approach to literate programming in a range of languages: out-of-the-box there is support for R, Python, Julia and Observable. It also covers many different output types, all from a single markdown source file. Quarto can be compiled to HTML documents, sites and slides; PDF documents and MS Word docs - all through the magic of Pandoc.

If you've not heard of Quarto before, I'd suggest having a play around with it. Some starter projects, building in difficulty.

  1. ⬇️ Install Quarto - it's easy, I promise.
  2. 📝 Try making your first Quarto document. (Bonus points for html + pdf output)
  3. 📽️ Jazz things up and try making some slides (Pretty from the start, gorgeous with a little extra HTML and CSS).
  4. 👤Create or revamp your own website.
  5. ✍️ Add a blog to that website, perhaps by following this tutorial!
