This is an introductory-level workshop aimed at analysts who can write R code but who don't really get what functions are yet.

We'll be turning some repetitive code into functions, and learning:

• how to make a function
• what makes functions useful for analysts.

I coded for ages before I understood what the point of functions was. And then I went through the torment of trying to learn how to use them!

Now I use them all the time... and I would never go back.

This workshop will explain why, and you'll be learning through doing.

• You are someone who can write at least some basic R code.
• To play along, you will need to have R, and RStudio or VSCode etc., installed and working on your computer.
• Ideally you will also be able to clone a GitHub repository into an RStudio project, but if not the code can be emailed out as a zip file instead.
