feat: Content for R

[jjjermiah]

Some free resources on R, R-Packages and software development that I refer to regularly
Deep Dive into R:
Advanced R from Chapman & Hall’s R Series.
"R users who want to improve their programming skills and understanding of the language. It should also be useful for programmers coming to R from other languages, as help you to understand why R works the way it does."
Holy Grail of Building R-Packages:
“R Packages” by Hadley Wickham and Jennifer Bryan
Very in-depth, discusses all the fundamentals of building a package and introduces useful tools (devtools, usethis)
Brief Overview of building R-packages:
Mastering Software Development in R: Chapter 3 Building R Packages
Part of a book on software development in R (highly recommend the entire book to anyone working in R)
Bioconductor Developer Book:
Bioconductor Packages: Development, Maintenance, and Peer Review
If you are looking to build a package for Bioconductor, I heavily recommend going through these guidelines before starting as they have a rigorous approval process
Additional Resources
Gitting Things Done – A Visual and Practical Guide to Git
git and version control is a powerful tool that I believe everyone (even non-software developers) can highly benefit from.
