Signed, sealed, delivered: An introduction to developing R packages

Kia ora koutou

Anna Fergusson, one of our R-ladies Auckland co-organisers, will be the speaker at this meetup. This introductory-level hands-on workshop will cover some of the key things to consider when developing R packages for other people.

Time: 6:00 arrival for a 6:30pm start and 8:00pm finish.

What to bring: Laptops with R installed, arrive early if you are a beginner and would like help with your R install.

Abstract: In this workshop, we'll learn all about the wonderful world of R packages and what you need to know to get started on your package development adventure. Maybe you want to share a new method you've developed? Maybe you've got an interesting set of data that you'd like to others to be able to access? Maybe you've got an idea for a new package but are not sure how to get started? Or maybe you just want a non-scary place to hang out on Halloween? Come along and learn more about R package development within a fun and supportive learning environment.
