R package creation made easy: Introducing {fusen}

Do you want to learn how to develop R packages from scratch? This new R-Ladies Cologne series is just for you! Together, we’ll walk through every step of package development, from writing your first function to submitting your package to CRAN.

To launch this series, we’ll dive into {fusen}, an innovative package that turns R Markdown files into fully functional R packages—almost like magic! 🪄

Here’s how it works:

• Write your code into R Markdown chunks.
• Label the chunks.
• Let {fusen} handle the rest!

In just a few simple steps, your package will be on GitHub, with all the necessary tests and documentation.

#### Special Guest: Sébastien Rochette

We’re thrilled to have Sébastien Rochette, the creator of {fusen}, as speaker in the kick-off meeting of this package development series. With over a decade of experience in Tech and Data Science, Sébastien Rochette likes to help users exploit the full potential of collaborative workflows to reduce maintenance and tedious activities (such as documenting your package!).
