Interactive programming with R Markdown

In this workshop, I will introduce the basics of R Markdown, including the yaml header, code chunk options, embedding external R code/html links/graphics, utilizing parameters, and other R Markdown features. If time permits, I'll briefly discuss Bookdown (for books) and Xaringan (for slides), the 2 packages built on top of R Markdown.

The workshop actually starts at 7pm, but we'll meet early.
