Future topics

[friedue]

Just a start to collecting topics that may be of interest. More ideas, @pzumbo, @jinhyunju, @MehtapIsik?

I propose to start collecting a bunch of topics and then we'll figure out a way to sort of vote on them so that we can gauge the interest and prioritize them accordingly.

• [x] Makefiles
• [ ] Parallelization (GNU Parallel and || on cluster nodes)
• [x] Jupyter vs. Markdown
• [ ] Hardening shell scripts for pipelines

[jinhyunju]

• [ ] Using tmuxto keep your workspace organized - what about screen (I saw a few posts that mentioned that screen is a bit outdated since it hasn't been updated for a long time)?
• [x] How to create an R package and maintain it on github
• [ ] How to run an Rstudio server and access it through your internet browser

These are some things that people might find useful...

[friedue]

• [x] using docker/deploying something as a docker image
• [ ] sqlite on the shell and in R
• [ ] writing shiny applications
• [ ] awk scripting
• [ ] cucumber tests
• [x] testthat
• [ ] storing and documenting data in R packages
• [ ] interactive R plots using plotly and Rmarkdown

[MehtapIsik]

• [ ] SQL
