Are you an R user who works in science? Would you like sharing more online? How about starting a new blog, with R Markdown (Rmd)?
In this 2-hour course with live coding, we’ll go on three short adventures:
setting up a scientific Rmd blog with the Distill framework and the distill package
setting up a scientific Rmd blog with the Hugo website generator and the hugodown package
How can you write a good R package? Read a starter guide, the “R packages” book, “Writing R Extensions”, and then? This talk will feature ways to take your R package, and your R development skills, to the next level! We shall present tools that equip you with helpful flags and metrics, from R CMD check locally and on the cloud, to lintr::lint_package() and covr::package_coverage(). We shall also mention tools that automagically improve your package or its docs: the styler and pkgdown packages.
OpenAQ is a non-profit fighting air inequality by harmonizing disparate real-time and historical AQ open data. In my talk I explained how to get OpenAQ data into R via my own ropenaq package, and via Amazon Web Services Athena.
