Don't Take it From Us

Our learners say it best.

I am speechless! I have been trying to feel comfortable with R for so many years. I used to spend so much time looking for resources on the internet, trying to put all the pieces together, and I was always defeated. This course is an excellent shortcut to learning R.

Great, easy to follow, clear into to R. I've taken a couple of other "R intro" trainings and was starting to feel discouraged about being able to use R. This training restored my confidence :)

For me, the course was set up very good and understandable for getting into R. I think it was very well done and serves as a good basis for starting to work with R!

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...

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.

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...
