Visualization-Tutorial-ggplot2

I felt a need to create a visualization tutorial for people who are just learning ggplot2. As I was learning ggplot2, I realized that most of the tutorials had common themes, namely:

  • they all use the same datasets: diamonds, cars, and mpg
  • the graphs generated are really not presentation-worthy. Another words, they don't put all the pieces together.
  • they don't provide business insight

Fills a gap from other ggplot2 tutorials

I felt a need to help people who are new to ggplot2 build some presentation worthy plots in a quick amount of time, something I would have wanted. This tutorial aids in understanding ggplot2 quickly, so that you can start writing code and build plots faster on your own. It helps give high-level and detailed-level experience in only 10-15 minutes.

Requirements

If you are newer to ggplot2, completing an introductory tutorial would be helpful, but probably not necessary.
