Help me help you: Creating reproducible examples with reprex

What is a reprex? It’s a reproducible example. Making a great reprex is both an art and a science and this webinar will cover both aspects. A reprex makes a conversation about code more efficient and pleasant for all. This comes up whenever you ask someone for help, report a bug in software, or propose a new feature. The reprex package (https://reprex.tidyverse.org) makes it especially easy to prepare R code as a reprex, in order to share on sites such as https://community.rstudio.com, https://github.com, or https://stackoverflow.com. The habit of making little, rigorous, self-contained examples also has the great side effect of making you think more clearly about your programming problems.
