[R] a package-building opinion question, please

[Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal]

Hi Erin:

Everyone's tastes differ,  but when I started out knowing nothing about packages,  I found Hadley's guide  (thank you Hadley!!!) indispensable:

     http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/intro.html


For obvious reasons, his guide really is geared to built-in features of RStudio, though I believe you could do the same things without it.  It is just easier to do the steps he describes from within RStudio.

HTH,

-Roy
