Hello, are you ready to start?
In this workshop, we’ll build and deploy a few different types of websites. We’ll cover basic website care and feeding like using R Markdown to create content, and how to use
GitHub for version control and
Netlify for publishing. We will primarily use the RStudio IDE and R packages from the R Markdown family including blogdown.
The plan
First we will construct a GitHub profile.
Next we will build a very simple HTML website using
postcards. Finally we will create a
blogdown site. Where to start? Prework!
Packages
