How to Present

This repository is structured as a {bookdown} site. To present, follow these instructions:

1. Setup Github Locally
2. Fork this repository.
3. Create a New Project in RStudio using your fork.
4. Create a New Branch in your fork for your work.
5. Edit the appropriate chapter file. Use ## to indicate new slides (new sections).
6. If you use any packages that are not already in the DESCRIPTION, add them. You can use usethis::use_package("myCoolPackage") to add them quickly!
7. Commit your changes.
8. Push your changes to your branch.
9. Open a Pull Request (PR) to let us know that your slides are ready.

When your PR is checked into the main branch, the bookdown site will rebuild, adding your slides to this site.

Example Shiny Apps

If you create any shiny apps to illustrate the concepts in a chapter, you are welcome to include them with your chapter notes. The apps should be placed in the ./examples/ directory of the repository.

Create a subdirectory named ./examples/<chapter-number>_<chapter-name>_<app-description> for each of the apps you create and place your app.R file in there.

For example, if while working on chapter 3 ("Basic Reactivity"), you create an app to illustrate controlling the timing of evaluation, you might add your app as ./examples/03-basic_reactivity-timing_evaluation/app.R.

Images

If any static image files are used in the .Rmd for a chapter, please add them into the directory ./images/<chapter_number>-<title_stub>/. For example, to include images for the "01-your_first_shiny_app" chapter, please place them in ./images/01-your_first_shiny_app/.
