Monthly R Ladies Meeting: R package development!

Details

Create a package with RLadies!

Bring your laptop and we will walk through the steps to create a package.
We'll cover the tools you need to get started with package development, the requirements for creating a package, best practices, how to build in
automated testing and finally deploy and load your package.

If you haven't created a Github account yet and you want to see your package full circle, please create an account in advance.

We will use the following packages, so try to install these in advance to ensure you're ready to go!
devtools::install_g­ithub(“r-lib/devtools”)
install.packages(c(­“devtools”, “roxygen2”, “testthat”,
“knitr”,“usethis”,“­rstudioapi”,"tidyverse")­)

CONSUMING THINGS:
Just down the hall is a mini coffee shop. Feel free to bring snackies or beverages from home.

LOCATION:
Meet us in room 214 of O'Shaughnessy Science (OSS). This is connected to Owens and is part of the Frey Science Center (big cement sign out front). OSS is on the west side of Cretin between Grand and Summit. The east side of the building has an elevator, and the building is ADA accessible.

PARKING:
You can park on Summit for free. The parking ramp (on Grand and Cretin) is very close to OSS and is decently priced ($1.00 or $1.50 per hour).
