Introduction to R

Description

This site contains materials for introductory R courses I’ve develop and taught specifically tailored to certain audiences or venues (e.g., conferences).

• Intro to R: Pet names: two-hour overview of Tidyverse data analysis using data from City of Seattle pet licenses. Designed and taught at CascadiaRConf 2021.

What to expect as a participant

If you are taking a workshop based on these materials, you should prepare by:

• bringing a computer (laptop, not Google Chromebook or Microsoft Surface) on which to perform the living coding exercises
• software (R, RStudio, Tidyverse) installed as described in the installation instructions (note: if you have previously installed this software, you may find it useful to upgrade to the latest versions)
• ensuring your mindset is open to participating

Answers to questions commonly asked by people getting started with R are available in the FAQs.

For instructors
