Course description	This one-day course builds further upon the “Introduction to Programming in R”-course taking place September 30 - October 01 2021. The course is aimed at R-users who already have some programming experience in R (i.e., have written their own functions), but want to extend their skills and knowledge. The course covers advanced programming topics both in a general and an R-specific way. For instance, object-oriented programming is introduced as a general paradigm, as well as put into practice using the S3 object-oriented system in R. Other topics that are discussed and explained using illustrations and exercises, include scoping, environments, functionals and the Split-Apply-Combine paradigm. In addition, the course illustrates how R-users can create and publish and maintain their own packages using the git version control software combined with Github. After the course, participants should have a better understanding of how R works and be familiar with the tools to write, publish and maintain R-packages that can be shared with other R users.
