“A great start to getting your feet wet with R!
“I had dabbled in R a number of years ago and needed to get a refresher of the basics before getting back into coding and data analysis using R. Getting Started With R was excellent as a refresher and would be just as good for those starting out. The videos are easy to follow and they provide practical examples to follow along. I would recommend to anyone looking to understand R
“Excellent course to know the basics of this great tool (R).
“I feel like searching the internet for help with R is like looking for a very specific needle across a giant field of haystacks, and you are the metal detectors that get us where we need to be more quickly.
“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!
“I just want to say how much I enjoyed R in 3 Months with R for the Rest of Us. It was a really great course. I was very intimidated to learn R. I finished my PhD and we were mostly working with SPSS and I started a new role where it became apparent that I needed to use and learn R pretty quickly. David and Charlie were great in helping me get up to speed and start working in R nearly every day. They make it quite fun and enjoyable to learn how to start exploring this great new, wonderful world of R. I got a lot of individualized attention and so it's a great course. I couldn't recommend it more.
“The modules were very helpful and I enjoyed the course so far thoroughly.
“My team is continuing to use the R we learned from you and your team - it's been a game changer for us and we've only scratched the surface on what we know how to do.
“thanks - helped a lot to get started with R
“I liked the explanations a lot, they were very clear and easy to follow. I would recommend you definitely to a friend!

How to Get Started Using AI with R
May 27, 2026
There are so many ways to use AI with R now that it's genuinely hard to know where to start. Should you just use ChatGPT in a browser tab? Install something into your code editor? And if so, which one? I made a video walking through the main options, with the pros and cons of each. The simplest approach is the one most people start with. Pop open ChatGPT in a browser and ask it R questions the same way you'd ask anything else. It works, but you end up bouncing back and forth between the...
Introducing the {pdfcheck} R package for checking the accessibility of PDFs
February 5, 2026
Are the PDFs you're creating accessible? Can someone using a screen reader navigate them? Is the color contrast sufficient for people who are colorblind? These are questions we've been getting a lot from our consulting clients at Clarity Data Studio. And honestly? When we reviewed our own PDFs, we found there wasn't a really great tool to check accessibility and give us actionable steps to improve. So we decided to build our own. It's called {pdfcheck}, and it's an R package that helps you...

In the livestream we covered several topics, including: Making complex elements that we used in the state-level immunization reports we recently created for the Johns Hopkins University International Vaccine Access Center. Taking a Typst template and...
