Scriptability 2. Literate Programming 3. Version Control 4. Automation --- ## R Markdown tips / resources - R Markdown cheatsheet: https://www.rstudio.com/resources/cheatsheets/ - R Markdown document should be in your root directory - Do not set a working directory in your R Markdown document - Actually, don't ever use `setwd()` - See the `here` package for an alternative approach --- ## GitHub tips / resources - It's pretty easy to convert your repo to a website - Go to Settings and then Enable GitHub pages - Lots of Packages to help create a nice webpage: blogdown, bookdown, pkgdown, etc. - You can use GitHub as a search engine to see how people write their `Makefile`s and how they use functions in a given language - You can add a license to your repo upon creation or later by adding a file called LICENSE.md - GitHub provides you a list to select licenses from - Think about commercial/non commercial, share alike/not - See https://choosealicense.com/ for help with picking a license - [Happy Git with R](http://happygitwithr.com/) by [Jenny Bryan](http://github.com/jennybc) --- ## Make tips and resources - Some projects you can outline well initially and start with a Makefile - Others you'll want to start working in an R Markdown document and then break it up into pieces and use `make` to glue the pieces back together - Thinking about the folder structure(s) helps and leveraging tools like `here` helps - Leverage the community, you are not alone in dealing with these types of problems - Twitter, Stack Overflow, etc. - Scientific computing is a large tent - look beyond R for ideas --- class: middle, center ## Thanks <br/> Enjoy JSM 2019!
