codinglab

The goal of codinglab is to store learnr tutorials in a package for students to run on their local machines. These tutorials were developed to teach introductory programming concepts as part of a statistics course.

Installation

You can install the development version of codinglab from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("harris-coding-lab/codinglab")

Running Tutorials

To run a tutorial in this package, install the codinglab package, then use the learnr function run_tutorial to launch the interactive tutorial in your browser:

library(codinglab)
library(learnr)

# Run the first tutorial
run_tutorial("basic-syntax", package = "codinglab")

The tutorials in order are:

1. basic-syntax
2. reading-files
3. if-statements
4. loops
5. functions

Replace the first argument of run_tutorial with the appropriate tutorial name to run it.
