      <description>Via Frinkiac  tl;dr Teaching materials from The Carpentries depend on the community to amend and update them. This post is about my first proper contribution by helping to update the Software Carpentry lesson that teaches the R package {tidyr}.
Some helpful materials for learning about {tidyr}’s new pivot_*() functions:
 the {tidyr} vignette about pivoting Hiroaki Yutani’s slides — ‘A graphical introduction to tide’s pivot_*()’ Bruno Rodrigues’s blogpost — ‘Pivoting data frames just got easier thanks to pivot_wide() and pivot_long()’ Sharon Machlis’s video — ‘How to reshape data with tidyr’s new pivot functions’ Gavin Simpson’s blog — ‘Pivoting tidily’ (a real-world problem) I wrote a {tidyr} lesson for Tidyswirl, a Swirl course for learning the tidyverse from within R itself (read the blog post)   Contribute!</description>
