Talk

Imagine your R code as a polished, reusable tool that you can share with colleagues, collaborators or the entire R community. In this talk you’ll learn how to create a fully functional, tested and documented R package step-by-step the easy way with devtools, usethis, testthat and roxygen2 in RStudio. Throw in a documentation website built with pkgdown and advice from good practice to streamline your workflow – and take your R skills to the next level!

After the talk we'll have an optional bring-your-own-code session, where you can apply what you've just learned (while munching on coffee & pastries courtesy of the R Consortium).
