<h1 class="title toc-ignore">Preface</h1>

<p>We had a great time writing this primer thanks to the ready availability of many open source tools. This primer was written using open source tools including <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a>, <a href="http://www.rstudio.com/ide/">RStudio IDE</a>, <a href="http://yihui.name/knitr/">Knitr</a>, the <a href="http://www.r-project.org">R</a> statistical computing and graphing language, <a href="https://github.com/cboettig/knitcitations">knitcitations</a>, <a href="http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/poppr/index.html">poppr</a> and other dependent R <a href="funpendix.html">packages</a>.</p>
<p>Zhian and Nik recently participated in the <a href="https://github.com/NESCent/r-popgen-hackathon/wiki">R hackathon for Population Genetics</a> in Durham, NC. As a result of this hackathon major upgrades to several packages including <em>adegenet</em>, <em>pegas</em>, and <em>poppr</em> are being released. We are currenlty incorporating any resulting changes into this primer.</p>
<p>If you find errors or lacking information please let us know. We are actively working to improve this primer and <em>poppr</em>. We are also delighted to hear about features in <em>poppr</em> you might want to see, although we cannot promise that we can implement these. At the same time we have already implemented several user suggested features that much improved <em>poppr</em>. We hope you find this primer useful in your own work!</p>
