Ever wanted to build your own R/Python package?

If you work with Python and R, you will have undoubtedly used packages (e.g. numpy, pandas, ggplot2, tidyr). But did you know you can create your own packages? And did you know that this is not so difficult and often a good idea? In this edition of the Programming Cafe, we discuss:

what a package is,
when and why it is a good idea to create a packages,
how to create a package and some best practices when creating packages.

We will also have small tutorials for creating a simple package in R and Python yourself in the second hour of the Programming Cafe, with experts in the room to help you!
