blogdown: Creating Websites with R Markdown (Chapman & Hall/CRC The R Series)

blogdown: Creating Websites with R Markdown provides a practical guide for creating websites using the blogdown package in R. In this book, we show you how to use dynamic R Markdown documents to build static websites featuring R code (or other programming languages) with automatically rendered output such as graphics, tables, analysis results, and HTML widgets. The blogdown package is also suitable for technical writing with elements such as citations, footnotes, and LaTeX math. This makes blogdown an ideal platform for any website designed to communicate information about data science, data analysis, data visualization, or R programming. Note that blogdown is not just for blogging or sites about R; it can also be used to create general-purpose websites. By default, blogdown uses Hugo, a popular open-source static website generator, which provides a fast and flexible way to build your site content to be shared online. Other website generators like Jekyll and Hexo are also supported. In this book, you will learn how to: <ul>
<li>Build a website using the blogdown package;</li> <li>Create blog posts and other website content as dynamic documents that can be easily edited and updated;</li> <li>Customize Hugo templates to suit your site’s needs;</li> <li>Publish your website online;</li> <li>Migrate your existing websites to blogdown and Hugo.</li> </ul>

This is the first book on how to create websites based on R Markdown. It makes it much easier to publish data analysis results and R computing/graphics output through websites. The book can be particularly useful to bloggers, and also generally useful to anyone who wants to create a professional personal website.

Sonya had spent numerous fun-filled summers at Society of Perceptive Youth Camp (aka S.P.Y.). Now, her role has changed. Sonya has received the opportunity to work a summer job as a youth counselor at the spy themed camp; however, just as she and her fellow youth workers depart for the two weeks of counselor training, the camp administrators announce that there are fewer job positions available than originally arranged. Sonya is shocked to learn that even after she had been accepted, her position is now at stake. The prospective youth counselors will be competing over the course of the training camp to obtain a position at S.P.Y. They will be reselected based on their performance during training and must discover the fictional mole planted by S.P.Y. who is "sabotaging" camp. As they continue their training, strange events begin to play out. Sonya suspects that not everything is as it seems. Is the mole really working alone? Or, is there someone else orchestrating these events without S.P.Y.'s knowledge? With her job at stake, will Sonya be able to discern the truth in time?
