R and RStudio

If you are new to R or need a refresher, you can sign-up for a free semester-long subscription to DataCamp (link available in Slack). Recommended courses:

  • Introduction to Data Visualization with ggplot2

  • Data Manipulation with dplyr in R

The Cookbook for R and the R Graphics Cookbook are good in-depth references for the fundamentals of R and ggplot2.

For quick reference, RStudio publishes several cheatsheets, like the Visualization Cheatsheet (ggplot2) and the Data Wrangling Cheatsheet (dplyr)

You may find it helpful to install R and RStudio locally. This tutorial will guide you through the process.
