Packages made easy
by Hadley Wickham

In this talk I’ll show you how easy it to make an R package by live coding one in front of you! You’ll learn about three useful packages:

  • usethis: automating the setup of key package components
  • devtools: for automating many parts of the package development workflow
  • testthat: to write unit tests that make you confident your code is correct

Timeline:

  • 6:30pm arrival, drinks and networking
  • 7:00pm talk

You must have a confirmed RSVP and please arrive by 6:55pm the latest. Please RSVP here on Eventbrite.

Venue: Edmunds, 2401 Colorado Avenue (this is Edmunds’ NEW LOCATION, don’t go to the old one)
Park underneath the building (Colorado Center), Edmunds will validate.

It has been over 2 months since the first satRday conference ended and I shared some quick impressions on that, where I also promised a follow-up post on my experiences as ending up being the main organizer of the event – this is what you are reading now. Although the idea was born at the EARL Boston conference last year, and I decided to take part in the project while living in Los Angeles – the conference took place in Budapest after all as logistics seemed to be easier there thanks to my closer relationship to the Hungarian R User Group.
