FLAMES | R Best Practices

The goal of this training is to build better practices with programming in R, in order to enhance your productivity in research, and to minimize the time you spend on fixing, rewriting and debugging your R scripts.

To achieve this, you will learn how to start using R projects, and how to integrate version control with Github into your projects.

We’ll look at syntax conventions and debugging tools, and we practice upgrading quick-and-dirty scripts to versatile R code.

To this end, we explain the theory and provide examples and hands-on to consolidate best practices in R.

The idea is to learn how to create clean, readable, versatile and reproducible R workflows, which help boosting your scientific productivity and collaboration.
