A bunch of pages of cheatsheets laid across each other

Our cheatsheets are concise, quick-reference guides that summarize key concepts, functions, and syntax for popular Posit tools. Cheatsheets have long been an invaluable resource for anyone working with R and the tidyverse, and we’re continuing to expand them to new languages and tools.

We’re excited to share three updates:

  • Each cheatsheet now has an HTML version; more on that below.
  • We have a new cheatsheet website where each cheatsheet gets its own page, with links to the PDF version and to any community translations.
  • We have published new cheatsheets for Shiny for Python and Quarto.

In the past, we have provided our cheatsheets in PDF format. But PDF cheatsheets have some limitations: they’re time-consuming to update and they’re not accessible. So now we’ve paired each PDF cheatsheet with an HTML equivalent (made with Quarto, of course!). As well as being more accessible for blind and low-vision folks (thanks to help from ilumino), the cheatsheets are also more usable from the browser (especially on your phone), fully hyperlinked, and a little more likely to pop up when googling.

Thanks to Andy Teucher for the new landing pages, Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel for coordination and updates, and to all the developers who work to keep these updated.

Open Source Program Director at Posit, PBC
Tracy Teal has been working with open source communities as a developer, instructor and project leader throughout her career. As a PhD student at Caltech and then as an Assistant Professor in bioinformatics at Michigan State University, she saw that the bottleneck to discovery was no longer data production, but the skills and perspective to work with data. She went on to co-found Data Carpentry to scale data training along with data production and then became Executive Director of The Carpentries, continuing to develop open curriculum and an inclusive instructor community. She is currently the Open Source Program Director at Posit where she is passionate about supporting open source developers and expanding access to tools that help people use data to answer the questions that are important to them.
