Build automation in R with the {drake} package

UPDATE:

{drake} has been superseded in favour of {targets}, which I talk about here: https://youtu.be/FvJ4xRGiEgw

You can still watch this video, because the general concepts still apply. But if you're starting a fresh data science project, use {targets} instead!

In this video I show you what the {drake} package can do for you to automate "building" stuff with R!
I show how you can encapsulate a data science analysis pipeline into an R package and run the analysis in a reproducible way using {drake}
