Getting Started with R

Where Do I Start with R?

We get this question a lot, so we thought we’d just add a page highlighting free learning resources that help you jump into R.

R-Bootcamp

This is an interactive bootcamp by Ted Laderas and Jessica Minnier that teaches you the basics of the tidyverse. No R Installs required!

Ready for R

This is a short 6 part course by Ted Laderas and Aaron Coyner consisting of RStudio Cloud notebooks and Videos talking about the basics of the tidyverse and using it in your everyday work. You’ll need to signup at the mailing list to gain access to the materials.

RYouWithMe

This one is from R-Ladies Sydney by Lisa Williams, Danielle Navarro, and Jen Richmond. Very fun and accessible!

R For the Rest of Us

Another great introductory course by David Keyes that shows that R is really for you.
