The code examples shown in the book can be run interactively in Jupyter notebooks1 either in an ephemeral docker container2 available from https://dataman-r-tmp.elff.eu/ with a maximum lifetime of 15 minutes or in a docker container available from https://dataman-r.elff.eu/ that exists for up to 24 hours, but requires signing in with an ORCID id.3

R-scripts, notebooks, and R-markdown files are also available in the GitHub repository https://github.com/melff/dataman-r. A ZIP-file with the contents of the repository can be downloaded from https://github.com/melff/dataman-r/archive/main.zip. Of course, the matarials come with NO WARRANTY whatsoever.
