Automatic Tools For Improving Packages

For this event we'll have Maëlle Salmon ( http://www.masalmon.eu/ )as the main speaker. Maëlle is very active in the Data Science community, she writes often about R, statistics and data analysis in her blog; she is the author of several R packages and one of the organizers of the R-Ladies meetups.

In this event Maëlle will explain how to improve your own R packages using "pkgdown", "goodpractice" and other tools.

If you have no experience in making your own package, in the first part of the meetup you will have the chance to learn the very very basics on making an R package.

This will be an hands-on event, so please bring your laptop with you or pair with someone at the event.

Before the meetup is highly recommended that you:

• get the package template available at https://github.com/maelle/fakepackage

• Install RTools (https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/Rtools/)

• Install devtools, lintr from CRAN

install.packages("devtools")
install.packages("lintr")

• Install goodpractice and pkgdown from Github:

source(" https://install-github.me/MangoTheCat/goodpractice ")
devtools::install_github("hadley/pkgdown")
