Lauren’s Learning Log (1)

What were your coding goals this week?

My coding goals this week are as follows:

• To create and R Markdown project and learn how to implement several of the introductory markdown features.
• To learn how to correctly save my documents and export them onto my desktop.
• To start using R code in my markdown document, as well as YAML for customisation of the markdown document.
• To learn how to publish my document and learning log onto RPubs!
• To practice these basic techniques and get comfortable with R Markdown <3

How did you go achieving your goals (challenges/successes)?

I was successfully able to grasp the simple concepts of markdown and how to use the basic features. I did experience a small hiccup when trying to change the theme and table of contents in the YAML section, and I am now aware that YAML is very finicky and spelling and the placements of indents need to be correct.

The same goes for using R code, and although I am a little slow with nagivating the project, I am aiming to familiarise myself with the software and get quicker as I go.

What the next steps are in your coding journey?

I am excited to dive deeper into R code such as making tables and plotting data!
