R package development workshop
Welcome to the Forwards R package development workshop!
The modules use materials developed by Forwards, the taskforce for underrepresented groups in the R community.
Syllabus overview
This is a hands-on workshop consisting of five modules, covering the entire process of creating an R package: functions and data, checking and testing, all levels of documentation, publication and maintenance.
The material is based on the book R Packages (2nd edition) by Hadley Wickham and Jennifer Bryan. It is freely availble online.
All slides and further resources can be accessed from the modules page.
