Course Description:
This workshop is a gentle introduction to the R programming language for those who have never (or barely) programmed in R, and especially to those who are new to programming in general. If you are unfamiliar with working with variables, vectors, and dataframes, then you are a good fit for this class! By the end of this workshop, you will have learned some of what R can do, explored the ecosystem of R and RStudio, modified/extracted data, and discovered resources to continue your learning even after this session. Please have R and RStudio Desktop installed on your device prior to the course.
