  + What is an R package?
  + What is a library?
  + Why make an R package?
  + How `devtools` creates a happy workflow.
* Chapter \@ref(system-prep) - Prepare your system for package development
  + Although we'll build a very simple package, we're still going to use the most modern and powerful tools for R package development. In theory, this could eventually involve compiling C/C++ code, which means you need what's called a *build environment*. See Chapter \@ref(system-prep) for help preparing your system.
* Chapter \@ref(package-from-scratch) - Write your own R Package
  + A guided walk-through of creating a small package from scratch.
