Learning R

Introduction

We wanted to create a place where any individual can learn how to use R.  Many times we have heard that R is too intimidating as it is code heavy. We believe that you can learn R.  The language of R is much simpler than that of other coding languages.  We want you to take this journey with us as R is an powerful program that an do amazing things.  Plus, it is free, so it will not cost you anything to learn it.  It can run on almost anything, so it is also highly accessible.

We are very excited to have you join us in learning how to use R.  If you prefer a formalized course with tons of examples and tutorials, please check out our videos on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/rintro
