I am looking forward to meeting you at the Tuesday AM (10th of July) tutorial session at useR2018!. We will be discussing a subject that I am very passionate about: Web Scraping!

To ensure that we can be immediately productive on Tuesday morning, I would like you to get the following set up on your machines beforehand:
- Install R (preferably the most recent version, 3.5.0)
- Install RStudio (preferably the most recent version)
- Install Tidyverse
- Install Docker
- This tutorial gives instructions on getting Docker set up.
- If you are running a Windows machine - install Docker Toolbox, not just Docker
- Install a VNC client (TightVNC is a good option)
- If you using linux I suggest Vinagre
