Our learners say it best

I shared R for the Rest of Us with my daughter who is in college and trying to learn R, and she texted me an hour later..."OMG, this is 1000x better and easier to understand than the other videos I saw." Thank you David for making R so easy to understand!

This is a terrific resource for learning R! I cannot believe it is free. The videos are well-made, and the information is extremely helpful. Kudos to the R for the rest of us platform, David, and the rest of the team.

This introductory course provided me with an excellent foundation in the R programming language. I had previously started learning about this powerful tool, but life circumstances interrupted that journey. Thanks to this course, I was able to resume my learning process, and I look forward to continuing it for much longer. Thank you!

Absolutely, R for the Rest of Us was very helpful and informative. The content was clear, structured, and easy to follow. David did an amazing job breaking down complex topics into manageable, real-world examples. I'm walking away feeling much more confident using R in my public health work.

I have been working with R for the past 3 years and consider myself to be a proficient user, however going through R in the 3 Months course made me realize the breadth of possibilities R offers and how much more there is to learn. I was able to pick up so many handy tricks that made my R workflow much more efficient and easier to reproduce.

I loved your teaching skills. I had some doubt before, now most of the things are clear after watching your videos.

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.

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.

Wonderful course! This helped me after more than 2 years of random googling and not knowing where to start. 24 hrs later and I can access my data and run descriptives in R! SO grateful for this resource.

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!

A great start to getting your feet wet with R!
