This course will be a great intro to get users started with R.

I just created my very first bar chart in R, and I could not have done it without Fundamentals of R course over at R for the Rest Us.

This is an excellent introduction to R and Rstudio and the capabilities of R. It was easy to understand and the exercises and tips were very helpful. I learned a lot. Thank you for offering this us to dip our toes into using R.

Eric Excellent beginner course...

Fundamentals of R is a well-paced exploration of R's toolbox. A solid foundation for those looking to continue studying R on their own.

This is my first time finally sitting down to learn R. David made the lessons very easy to follow. I have been using Google Sheets to clean my data and the lessons were very applicable to the first steps of my work. I look forward to learning more from David.

David, Just a note to say thank you for a clear, concise and straightforward approach to R. Shout out to Chris Garmon, University of Missouri-Kansas City, MO professor in graduate school course, Research Methods in Public Administration for steering students to your free, easily understandable course. You do a great job taking the scariness out of R by taking us step by step through learning how to use R and explaining the power R has in being able to tell a story through data and analyzing information to make decisions. Professor Garmon told us that The Washington Post uses R for it's data and that's quite a seal of approval. Thanks again for a great course. Bernita Cauthon, Kansas City, Missouri

This course is fantastic! I can't say enough good things about it. There were a few basic functions that I had already learned in R but I had always struggled with retaining the information because I'd never quite understood the grammar around how to piece functions together. David breaks down everything into really easy to understand and digestible chunks. I was asked to complete an assessment in R for a job interview only 2 days after finishing this course; I was able to complete the assessment and was asked to progress to the next stage of interviewing. With a lifetime access, this course is well worth the money. I would 100% recommend this course to a friend or colleague.

One of the most informative courses I have ever taken. The weekly videos are extremely helpful and show step by step how to code in R. In addition, you will have access to these videos even after the course finishes. I was very confused on how to use R just by reading books, but after this course I feel a lot more confident in R.

Learning R and GGPLOT with books (e.g., R for Data Science), and youtube provided me basic knowledge with many potholes. Getting Started with R assisted me in reorganizing my foundations, making sense of the patchwork of knowledge I have, while addressing several of my gaps. Of particular value are the tips as to how securing help for learning about the nuances of tidyverse functions.
