Webinar Description: What is a reprex? It’s a reproducible example.
Making a great reprex is both an art and a science and this webinar will cover both aspects.
A reprex makes a conversation about code more efficient and pleasant for all.
This comes up whenever you ask someone for help, report a bug in software, or propose a new feature.
The reprex package (https://reprex.tidyverse.org) makes it especially
easy to prepare R code as a reprex, in order to share on sites such as https://community.rstudio.com, https://github.com, or https://stackoverflow.com.
The habit of making little, rigorous, self-contained examples also has the great side effect of making you think more clearly about your programming problems.
Logistics: Only 1,000 live attendees are allowed in the Webinar on a first come first serve basis. It is typical for many people who register to not attend (which is why registration does not guarantee access.) If for any reason you cannot make the webinar or cannot get in we will provide links to the recording as well as all materials within 48 hours.
