<p>Last week I ran two webinars on my new course, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.arilamstein.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL2NvdXJzZXMyLmFyaWxhbXN0ZWluLmNvbS9jb3Vyc2VzL3NoYXBlZmlsZXMtZm9yLXItcHJvZ3JhbW1lcnM%3D&feed-stats-url-post-id=2384">Shapefiles for R Programmers</a>.

Some thoughts on webinars</h3>
<p>I ran my first webinar about 6 months ago. Before running it I was unsure what to expect. However, it immediately became clear that the medium has a huge potential. Unlike writing a blog post, I can have a real time conversation with people who are interested in my niche – it’s very powerful!</p>
<p>Since that initial webinar I’ve experimented with different webinar providers and formats. While I don’t claim to be a webinar expert, I do think that I’ve found something that works for both me and my readers. To commemorate this I’ve now added a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.arilamstein.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hcmlsYW1zdGVpbi5jb20vd2ViaW5hcnMv&feed-stats-url-post-id=2384">webinars</a> section to my website. Currently only this webinar is available, but I do plan to add others soon.</p>
<p>I don’t have a date yet for my next webinar, but I do know the topic. Regular readers will recall that on May 17 I am running a live workshop at UC Berkeley titled <a target="_blank" href="http://www.arilamstein.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tZWV0dXAuY29tL3ItZW50aHVzaWFzdHMvZXZlbnRzLzIyODgxMjQ2Ny8%3D&feed-stats-url-post-id=2384">Mapping Open Data in R</a>. After the event I plan to rewrite the in-person workshop as a webinar. Stay tuned for details!</p>
