Build an R package workshop

Learn how to develop an R package properly in R with us on April 23rd!

With the 3rd chapter of our “Introduction to R” learning path we continue our journey towards building strong R programming foundations and skills. With the “Build an R package” workshop, starting from a set of R scripts and functions, you will develop an R package along the way using usethis and devtools packages, you will learn how to deal with package dependency by applying renv to the package framework, you will document functions using roxygen2, you will learn about unit tests and how to integrate them in your package using usethis and testthat.

An online hands-on workshop to learn R by programming R.

The material has been updated to reflect the state-of-the-art set-up of renv (v1.X.X) to handle package dependencies in conjunction with Posit Public Package Manager (PPPM).

The workshop will take place on Tuesday, April 23rd, at 2:30 p.m. CEST (timezone Switzerland), it will take 3.5 hours and focus on being hands-on. The best way to understand new notions and integrate them into your way of working is to try them yourself.

Register at this link before 14/04 and benefit from the early bird discount. Register more people to get an additional discount from the second attendee.

If you have no or little experience building R packages, you collaborate in a team or you use Version Control (Git) in your project, then it makes sense to register for both workshops, including “Become an R developer” at a discounted price, to get a complete view of R Package Building and Hosting.
