The pointblank Workshop

This pointblank workshop will teach you a lot about what pointblank can do, and, it'll give you an opportunity to experiment with the package. All materials are also available as a Posit Cloud project, making it easy to get up and running.

The goal of the workshop is to introduce you to a lot of examples and provide some time to use the functions of pointblank with some sample datasets, learning bit-by-bit as we go.

Each module of the workshop focuses on a different subset of functions and they are all presented here as R Markdown (.Rmd) files, with one file for each workshop module:

• "01-intro-to-data-validation.Rmd" (The agent, validation fns, interrogation/reports)
• "02-scan-your-data.Rmd" (Looking at your data with scan_data())
• "03-expect-test-functions.Rmd" (Using the expect_*() and test_*() functions)
• "04-scaling-up-data-validation.Rmd" (The multiagent and its reporting structures)
• "05-intro-to-data-documentation.Rmd" (The informant and describing your data)
• "06-getting-deeper-into-documenting-data.Rmd" (Using snippets and text tricks)

You can navigate to any of these and modify the code within the self-contained R Markdown code chunks. Entire R Markdown files can be knit to HTML, where a separate window will show the rendered document.
