Workshop at R/Pharma 2021
author: "Leigh Alexander | Juliane Manitz"

Why make an R package? So many reasons! From sharing code and collaboration, to reproducibility and regulatory concerns, and finally for organizing your own analysis projects and tidy coding practices, R packages are here to help!
In this workshop, we will cover the very first steps of R package creation, the basic R package structure as well as all relevant components.
- Start to write R functions,
- document them with help pages,
- integrate examples and data,
- make sure that your code does what is expected by implementing unit testing, and
- finally built and submit it to CRAN or wherever you want to share it.
We conclude the workshop with a selection of advanced topics related to R packages (e.g., package validation, objected-oriented programming/S3 methods or advanced package documentation with pkgdown).
Requirements: This workshop requires some experience with R and is targeted at beginner to intermediate R users
