+# The woRkflow Workshop
+
+1 hour (hopefully)
+
+## To do before you come
+
+ * install [RStudio](https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/)
+ * make sure you can log in to [git.soton.ac.uk](git.soton.ac.uk/)
+ * check you have an ssh key set up on git.soton for the laptop/PC/server where you are going to use RStudio - see [rstudio's help](https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200532077-Version-Control-with-Git-and-SVN) or [this one](https://happygitwithr.com/ssh-keys.html)
+ * Make sure you have Teams - we will be using the screen sharing a lot
+
+## On the day we will
+
+ * fork the [woRkflow repo](https://git.soton.ac.uk/SERG/workflow) to your personal space on git.soton.ac.uk
+ * clone your personal fork of the repo to the laptop/PC/server where you are going to use RStudio 
+ * explore the repo to see what is in:
+   * /R
+   * .env.R
+   * /Rmd
+ * test /Rmd/make_basicReport.R and see why it doesn't work
+ * build the repo as a R package
+ * re-test /Rmd/make_basicReport.R to see if it works now
+ * work through /Rmd/make_basicReport.R and basicReport.Rmd to understand:
+   * what drake is doing and how it helps
+   * why data.table is really fast
+   * why lubridate is so useful for dates and times
+   * why you use drake to build stuff and Rmd to report it
+   * how to get ggplot2 to make pretty plots
+  
+ * That's it :-)
