In 2023, Dr. Andrew Bray and I gave a series of six workshops on Quarto as part of the Traveling Courses program sponsored by the American Statistical Association.
The workshop was designed for those who want to take their R Markdown skills and expertise and apply them in Quarto, the next generation of R Markdown. Participants learned how to apply their reproducible authoring skills to the Quarto format and about new tools and workflows for authoring with Quarto in RStudio. The workshop covered creating static documents and presentations, building websites, and writing blogs and books. Finally, participants learned various ways to deploy and publish their Quarto projects on the web.

One of the Quarto features we leveraged in organizing these materials is that you can publish to different QuartoPub URLs from the same repository with quarto publish. After each workshop, we created a release on GitHub to take a snapshot of the materials for that workshop, and for the subsequent workshop, we made edits to the materials on the main branch and published them to a new URL.
The source code for everything can be found at github.com/asa-quarto/website. Also in the GitHub organization is a repo containing the “your turn” exercises for the workshops: github.com/asa-quarto/exercises.
