Dear colleagues,
Improve your R coding skills with the course "Functional programming
with R".
Dates and schedule: Online live sessions May 27th-30th, 2025; from 10:00
to 12:00 (Madrid time zone).

Course Overview:
The growing availability of data and the versatility of analysis
programs have led to an increase in the quantity and complexity of
analyses conducted in ecology. This makes efficiency in data management
and analysis increasingly necessary. One possible way to optimise these
processes and reduce working times for R users is functional
programming. Functions allow the automation of common tasks (such as
reading different databases) in a more powerful and general way,
simplifying the code.
The objective of this course is to learn how to write functions and
employ them in iterative programming, using both base R and the {purrr}
package from {tidyverse}. Additionally, participants will learn a coding
style that facilitates understanding for their future selves and their
collaborators while minimising errors. Learning to write good functions
and applying them to our data is a dynamic process, and new techniques
and better ways to address old problems can always be learned.
Programme:
* Introduction
* Theory of functions in R
* How to write functions. Arguments and return values.
* Bases of imperative programming
* Iterations over one argument
* Iterations over multiple arguments
* Iterations without output
* Function operators
* Other functionals
