Book Description
R packages are a great way to share and create code that you and others can use over and over again.
Why is it important?
Developing R code for inclusion in a package is different than simply writing R scripts.
What you'll learn—and how you can apply it
Learn best practices for writing R code for packages: organizing your functions, code style recommendations, understanding and planning for how code will be run. Plan for the "unknowns" once you release a package to the world. Also includes hints for submitting a package to CRAN.
This lesson is for you because…
- You're an R developer and need to package code so that others can reuse it
- You want to prepare a package to submit to CRAN
Prerequisites
- Some familiarity with the R language
Materials or downloads needed in advance
This lesson is taken from R Packages by Hadley Wickham.
