Forwards R Package Development Workshop

The website for the Forwards R Package Development Workshop.

The website has been set up so that the content of the modules is separate from the specifics of the workshop.

If running a workshop, you will need to do the following:

• Add a .qmd page in the workshops directory with the title of the workshop. It would probably be sensible to copy an existing page, e.g. summer-2025-cohort-1.qmd and update it with the specifics of the new workshop
• Add a .qmd page in the workshops directory with the title of the workshop suffixed with -intro (the 'Welcome and introduction' slide deck). It would probably be sensible to copy an existing page, e.g. summer-2025-cohort-1-intro.qmd (if two instructors) or summer-2025-cohort-2-intro.qmd (if three instructors)and update it with the specifics of the new workshop
• Add photos of instructors into images/instructors and update the paths to the photos in the new intro slides
• In your new page with the workshop details, update the link to the intro slides for both opening in a new window, and the embedded version
• Add the page with workshop details to workshops.qmd as an upcoming workshop
• Review prerequisites.qmd. You may need to update to give the latest version numbers of R and RStudio. Update the 'last updated' date at the top of the file.
• Commit and push all changes to GitHub. This will trigger an update to the published website
  • Note: if you have made changes to any of the slides, or any pages that contains a code chunk, then you MUST re-render those page and commit/push the updated pages in the _freeze folder, otherwise the rebuilding of the website will fail.
