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.

Our learners say it best

After learning R through self-study and short courses, I realized my knowledge was fragmented—I understood pieces but lacked a clear conceptual map. R in 3 Months by David Keyes has been transformative: its well-structured videos, hands-on exercises, and live sessions helped me connect those pieces and finally see R as a coherent system rather than a collection of disconnected tools. It also helped me tackle a persistent challenge: forgetting functions and their underlying logic by showing me how to effectively leverage AI to refresh my memory and uncover unexpected connections. The support of Gracielle Higino has been equally invaluable, making the learning process both effective and encouraging.

The course is highly accessible in its pedagogical style, its language, and practicality. I've never coded before and this course allowed me to feel confident about my R journey! My favorite part was that David was reachable to help with queries!

R in 3 Months is a wonderful resource for beginners or experienced R users alike – truly the best R resource I know for learning and expanding R skills.

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!

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.

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've been dipping my toes in the R water for many years, your site and approach has been the most accessible and useful by far!

I've used R quite a bit in the past, but until taking this course, I felt like I was navigating a maze with my eyes closed -- running bits and pieces of code and troubleshooting each time I bumped into a wall, but never truly understanding where I'd been or where I was headed. "Getting Started with R" is the map to the maze that I never knew I needed, but now don't know how I'd live without! David clearly explains foundational concepts and makes R so much easier to understand. Whether you're brand-new to R or have been using it for years, I highly recommend this course.

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.

It was helpful as it breaks complex things into simple things which makes it easy to understand everything clearly.

I’ve had so many false starts trying to learn R: my initial excitement at learning something new is quickly dashed by the brick wall of coding. I keep telling myself R is not for non-coders like me and off I slope back to Excel! This course is different. To use the words of one of my data heroes, Alberto Cairo, this course doesn’t try to simplify R but it helps clarify the basic skills you need. The step-by-step approach to building skills kept me engaged and learning all the way through. All the while I kept thinking, I know how I can use this in my current job.

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
