DESCRIPTION:# Overview\nIn this course\, R programmers will learn how to de
 velop R packages\, the best way to make R scripts reusable and to improve 
 the reproducibility of their work. Participants will learn how to create c
 lear\, clean and usable packages in R\, and to distribute them if needed. 
 At the same time\, they will improve their understanding of the \ninner wo
 rkings of R\, something that will be useful to them even outside of the cr
 eation of R packages.\n\nThis course is recommended even for programmers w
 ho do not plan to distribute their R scripts or datasets: R packages are a
 lso useful for a developer who works alone\, and wants to keep track of hi
 s scripts and the related documentation.\n\n# Audience\nThis course is add
 ressed to Biologists\, bioinformaticians or any R user who has written R s
 cripts and wants to package them.\n\n# Learning outcomes\nAt the end of th

 ckages should be used\, and which scripts would benefit from being package
 d\;\n* identify what makes a good package\;\n* build an R Package\, includ
 ing functions\, datasets and documentation\;\n* add unit tests to their pa
 ckage\;\n* determine the best way to distribute a package.\n\n# Prerequisi
