Restructure pages

[MattCowgill]

In particular, 01_Using_R_at_Grattan.Rmd should probably be split into a few pieces

[wfmackey]

As we're doing a project-based approach, the page structure could be:

• Why use R
• Starting an R project (inc folder structure etc)
• Reading data
• Cleaning data (inc different data types; data transformations)
• Analysing data
• Visualising data

Then, we could have an 'Advanced gameplay' set of chapters covering

• Creating functions
• Version control
• R Markdown
• Shiny apps

[MattCowgill]

I think this is broadly right, although I wonder whether cleaning and analysis should each be multiple chapters... This will probably become clearer once we're working on them, though

[wfmackey]

Yeah they'll both be big. But are chapters a less important concept now that we're using Bookdown? A chapter with 19 subsections is fine; as in one with 2.

[MattCowgill]

Yeah, true. The "how do we divide this material up" question is probably more relevant to the training session design than the document design

[MattCowgill]

Are we keeping the "why use R?" bit? If so, that should be its own page IMO, or part of the preamble.

Yep definitely I think it's important. I thought it could be in the intro Data analysis at Grattan section. But maybe the intro should just be "Why use R" instead, and in it we mention why using R meets Grattan's data analysis goals.

[MattCowgill]

Yeah I think either do it in the intro, or do it on its own page. Combining it with the "using R at Grattan" stuff is a bit unwieldy to me, and it would mean that people who just want to remember how to set up a project folder (etc.) have to wade through irrelevant stuff.
