 R is rather unsuitable for the first two points since these often require manual intervention which is why they are usually done with the help of dedicated GIS software (see also Chapter \@ref(gis)).
 On the other hand, aligning several images is possible in R and this section shows among others how to do so.

 If functions distributed in packages are the building blocks of R code, scripts are the glue that holds them together.
 Scripts should be stored and executed in a logical order to create reproducible workflows\index{reproducibility}, manually or with workflow automation tools such as **targets** [@landau_targets_2021].

+If you are new to programming, scripts may seem intimidating when you first encounter them, but they are simply plain text files.
 Scripts are usually saved as a file with an extension representing the language they contain, such as `.py` for scripts written in Python or `.rs` for scripts written in Rust.
 R scripts should be saved with a `.R` extension and named to reflect what they do.
 An example is [`11-hello.R`](https://github.com/geocompx/geocompr/blob/main/code/11-hello.R), a script file stored in the [`code`](https://github.com/geocompx/geocompr/tree/main/code/) folder of the book's repository.

 2. [KISS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) (keep it simple stupid): this principle suggests that simple solutions should be tried first and preferred over complex solutions, using dependencies where needed, and aiming to keep scripts concise. 
 This principle is the computing analogy of the [quote](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05004-4) "things should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler".

 If you function is becoming too long, think about splitting it into multiple small functions, each of which could be re-used for other purposes, supporting DRY and KISS principles.
