🎄 ANNOUNCEMENT: R Package Development Advent Calendar 2025! 🎄

Starting December 1st, I'm launching a 25-day journey through modern R package development. But this isn't just another tips series - here's why you should follow along 🧵

The Problem: R package development can feel overwhelming. Between documentation, testing, CI/CD, and CRAN submission, there are dozens of tools to learn.

A festive digital illustration features the blue R logo wearing a red Santa hat with white trim on the left. To its right stands a green Christmas tree made entirely of curly braces arranged in a triangular shape. White and light-blue %>% pipe symbols float across a dark blue, starry background like snowflakes. A speech bubble above the R logo says “Ho Ho Ho! 📦” in red text. At the bottom, white text reads: “R Package Development Advent Calendar 2025” and below it, “25 Days of Coding Magic • Dec 1–25.”

What's Changed: The R ecosystem has evolved dramatically. Tools like usethis, pkgdown, and GitHub Actions have automated what used to be manual, error-prone work.

What You'll Learn: This calendar covers the modern workflow:

Week 1: Automated setup and infrastructure
Week 2: Beautiful, maintainable documentation
Week 3: Comprehensive testing strategies
Week 4: Advanced features and CRAN submission
