R for the Rest of Us

Learn to use R, the most powerful tool for working with data.
Even if you've never coded before.

Supporting forward-looking organizations

Don't Take it From Us

Our learners say it best

There's certainly a lot to learn! I am interested in learning more, but this is a helpful crash course.

Getting started with R is an excellent source for those looking to do just that. The instruction is gentle, and hand-holdy, providing clear instruction of what the code is actually doing. I've used this course to help team members who have been longtime SAS users get their feet wet with R and the feedback has been nothing but positive. I would easily recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn R but gets overwhelmed with online sources that either spend too much time on the mechanics of R, or move too fast through topics. This course strikes a perfect balance of skipping all the stuff under the hood, while also taking the time to explain what to do to get your hands on your data and how to do it. A+

I'm truly excited about taking this course-- there's so much to learn and so many different ways to approach things. The way the course is structured has really helped simplify what seemed to me as super complex and boosted my confidence in working with R.

This is one of the best introduction to R courses that I have taken. It is simple yet very powerful. I have learnt a lot of things in one day which were very confusing to me for the past 2 years. Thank you for opening my eyes and allowing me to see the possibilites that are there in R. I highly recommend this course to anyone starting out in R.

I've been working with R for several years, but looked at this intro just for the heck of it because I keep hearing about R for the Rest of Us. To my shock, I learned a few new very useful tricks. David is a clear and thoughtful teacher. Don't let the short videos or his calm presence trick you into thinking this is too simplistic. It is easy because David is clear. But he's also gently (subtly) telling you some REALLY important stuff. He's laying down an excellent foundation for your future work with R. Don't skip this. Build your good foundation with David's guidance. I'm so glad I finally decided to give R for the Rest of Us a look; now I need to go look at more of it.

R has enabled me to explore my data more deeply and take control of my data visualizations. I would highly recommend the R in 3 Months program to anyone who wants to learn R.

I am a complete beginner and managed to follow the tutorial successfully. I will keep learning.

Definitivo, es un muy buen inicio. He manejado r antes y aprendí muchas cosas nuevas. Gracias David y equipo por un muy buen trabajo. Abrazo, Martha Lucía.

I think one of the biggest benefits of R in 3 Months is having continued access to all of the resources. Thanks so much for making that available to us!

As someone who has never coded before, this course was a lifesaver. Dr. Keyes takes you on an incredible journey as he follows a step-by-step approach to familiarise you with R and making it less intimidating to code. This course has encouraged me to continue learning R and hopefully, become proficient in it in the coming future.

This setup was exactly what I was looking for to have resources in bite size chunks to practice and to refer back to. I knew I was too anxious to try to teach myself, but by starting the process with the course, I feel ready to open R, and find resources to do what I want to do with it, and have a foundation if I ever take a course again that works exclusively in it. I would highly recommend this course!
