# Resources and Checklist

(rr-renv-resources-checklist)=
## Checklist

- Choose the most appropriate method for your project for capturing your computational environment
- Capture your computational environment
- Share your captured computational environment along with your results/analysis

(rr-renv-resources-learn)=
## What to Learn Next

We recommend reading the chapter on {ref}`rr-testing`, and then the chapter on {ref}`rr-ci`.
Note that the chapter on {ref}`rr-vcs` is a prerequisite for the chapter on continuous integration. The {ref}`rr-open` chapter also contains further information on sharing research reproducibly.

(rr-renv-resources-reading)=
## Further Reading

The [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/) contains a lot of information about containers in general.
