An Introduction to Writing R Packages Online

R packages are a powerful way to share code and data across your individual projects, with colleagues, or even with the broader scientific community. They can also form the basis for Research Compendium to share data analysis work reproducibly. This workshop will introduce the basics of creating custom R packages for personal use and for sharing!

Attendees will be expected to have moderate familiarity with programming in R, such as experience writing scripts adn custom functions.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

  • create working R packages with code and data
  • write documentation using roxygen2
  • describe additional package-related tools (e.g. pkgdowntestthat)
