Intro2R

This repository contains teaching materials for an introductory workshop to R programming. It is designed for those with minimal coding experience, and is meant to be a crash-course where you get a taste of what R can do. An overview of the workshop and slide decks can be viewed in this blogpost.

Please note that this course is not meant to be a lesson in statistics, or to substitute practicing the fundamentals of the language. There are many online resources in R which I highly recommend. Links to these materials are provided in the notes and slides.

Workshop outline:

  1. Getting started
  2. General syntax
  3. Data structures
  4. Functions
  5. The tidyverse
  6. Useful resources

Instructions:

Before the workshop, please install R onto your computer, followed by R Studio. After doing so, download the materials for this workshop from the Github repository Intro2R.


In the downloaded folder you will see a few important items.

  • Slide deck in PDF format.

  • The 'notes' folder. View course notes in your web browser by opening the .html files.

  • The 'data' folder. It contains example datasets we will use in this workshop.

  • The RStudio Project file (ending with .Rproj). Opening it boots up RStudio.
