Modus Operandi

A couple of notes on how we work:

  • We will be working using a pull request model. This will allow me to review and understand the code you write as we go along.
  • All scripts needs to run as-is on my machines (2 macs)
  • The following style guide applies: http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Style.html
  • Remember that we are writing scripts, not doing interactive work, so commands which print things to the interactive shell should be avoided
  • The project will be open source, so you can use it in your resume.
  • Default is R, if necessary we go to Python.
  • Code should be well-commented and use variable and function names which are intuitive and easy to understand
