hw01: Welcome to Jungle

The objective behind this homework assignment is to give graded practice with writing using the literate programming techniques discussed in class. In addition, students will be asked to read in and summarize data found in an R package and online.

Overview

Please use the hw01-assign.Rmd document as a template for your assignment. Note: You must rename hw01-assign.Rmd to hw01-netid.Rmd, where NetID is your NetID infront of NetID@illinois.edu.

Make sure to commit your rendered files (e.g. hw01-netid.html or hw01-netid.pdf) into this directory as well.

Files Included

Common files

• README.md: a file that provides guidance as to what the assignment is and what is contained inside the repository.
  • You are reading this file right now!
• hw01-assign.Rmd: the RMarkdown file containing the homework assignment.
• .gitignore: an optional file that RStudio may generate, which prevents certain files from being committed into the repository as they have no value.
• <REPO-NAME>.Rproj: an optional file that is generated when an RStudio project is created. As we are using RStudio Cloud, this file will likely be generated on import.

Infrastructure for Testing

• .travis.yml: provides a foundation for performing continuous integration checks, or verify that we can render/create output from your RMarkdown file. If your RMarkdown file is correct, then "Build Status" badge that should be inserted inside this README will be green and show say "build success." Otherwise, the badge will be red to indicate that a "build failure" occurred. Build failures occur if:
  • Image files have not been committed or the path to the image file is inappropriate. Hint: Use relative paths!
  • You added an additional package that was not listed in the DESCRIPTION file and, thus, is not available when travis tries to build the .Rmd file.
• DESCRIPTION: a file associated with R Packages that indicates to Travis what dependencies must be installed in order to build the .Rmd files.
• test/render_rmds.R: a short R script that finds all instances of the .Rmd files and attempts to build them!

Acknowledgement

The testing apparatus (e.g. /test) and portions of the README were based off of an example done by Carl Boettiger.
