Join us to hear about building packages and static code analysis.
Details
Join us to learn about R code development! Paul Egeler will be showing us how to build our own packages and Kyle Bedell will be talking about static code analysis.
Paul Egeler: Create your own R packages in minutes with devtools and roxygen2
Personal packages can be and excellent way to build your analytic toolbox by neatly recycling useful functions and data frames. Organizations can leverage R packages to share code for common tasks and standardize methods.
Creating your own packages can be an intimidating prospect, but devtools and roxygen2 can help. Paul Egeler, M.S., will walk us through how to make a simple R package in just a matter of minutes.
Kyle Bedell: LintR for the Learnr
Using a linter is a great way to avoid errors and write clear(er) code. In R, lintr and its active corollary formatR provide automated static analysis and correction. This can have the added benefit of instilling good code style into neophytes, who may not know the patterns of the language. Kyle Bedell will introduce these tools and suggest how attention to code style can make our lives better.
