 This workshop was the first of many online educational events that we plan on hosting, and was a great opportunity for us to put [our educational philosophy](https://www.pyopensci.org/blog/pyos-education-announcement.html) into practice. All of the pyOpenSci educational materials are community-developed and go through extensive technical and pedagogical review. While the workshop will *not* be available as a recording, the written content is available on the [Learn section of our website](https://www.pyopensci.org/learn.html), where you’ll find resources such as our [Python Packaging Tutorial](https://www.pyopensci.org/python-package-guide/tutorials/intro.html#), as well as in-depth guides on [Python packaging](https://www.pyopensci.org/python-package-guide/package-structure-code/intro.html), [documentation](https://www.pyopensci.org/python-package-guide/documentation/index.html), and [testing](https://www.pyopensci.org/python-package-guide/tests/index.html).

Created by [Carlos Ramos Carreño](https://github.com/vnmabus), rdata has several key advantages:
 
 rdata is a pure Python implementation, with no dependencies on the R language or related libraries. Thus, it can be used anywhere where Python is supported, including the web using [Pyodide](https://pyodide.org/en/stable/).
 rdata attempts to support all R objects that can be meaningfully translated. As opposed to other solutions, you are not limited to import dataframes or data with a particular structure.
