Title: A toolbox for debugging and refactoring in R

Date: Thursday, June 8th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Antoine Fabri is a data scientist, R consultant, R developper and teacher/coach at Cynkra in Zurich, Switzerland. Through his experience in the open source community, as an employee in various industries and as a consultant he had the opportunity to witness a lot of R code of varying context and quality, and write a fair amount on the way. The recurrent issues he faced led him to grow a collection of tools that he shares with the community.

Description: Debugging and refactoring are some of the most time consuming tasks a developper or data scientist encounter. They’re also not always pleasant. With the right approach and the right tools the experience can be much improved however and I intend to show we can soothe the pain a little, and hopefully even make it fun sometimes. I’d like to talk first a bit about my general approach to debugging and refactoring, review common issues and general tools, then show a glimpse of some of my own packages can be used to respectively understand and visualize the logic of your code (using {flow}), the structure of your objects (using {constructive}), and monitor the execution of your code (using {boomer}).
