R Markdown

Create a Website Using Blogdown

To build a website via Blowdown, an easy way is to let Netlify to build an initial website for you once you have GitHub account. For example, if you use “Academic” theme, go to Install Academic with Netlify. Nelify will create a repository academic-kickstart (you can change the name) under your GitHub account and provide you with a customizable URL to access your new site. On GitHub, go to your newly created repository and edit config.

Create Presentation Slides using xaringan through R Markdown

Sometimes it takes quite a lot time to grasp one new method (such as machine learning); on the other hand, you may just need less than half an hour to learn one skill. R Markdown is the latter one but change your way of working. My experience of using R Markdown since 2006 for statistical analysis and reporting mainly focused on exploratory analysis. The reports generated were word/pdf/html documents. I have not worked on a real example of slides format yet (except simple demo with one or two slides).
