When I was learning to use R, I remember a time when I tried to make a graph and was totally stumped. I read tutorial after tutorial but none of them explained how to work with my data. And then I came across the solution: my data wasn’t tidy.
I came across this solution almost by accident. I learned R on my own, and without a more experienced guide, I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
Once you’ve got the fundamentals down, you can do a lot with R. But what happens when:
Your data isn’t in the right format to plot with
You get messy data and don’t know how to deal with it
You want to produce presentations from Quarto documents, not just reports
These are just a few of the questions that Going Deeper with R is designed to answer. The course will give you the skills to not just replace your current tools, but go well beyond their capabilities. Watch your skills go from competent to excellent, your efficiency go from passable to unstoppable, and your relationship with R go from fascination to infatuation.
This course will build on the Fundamentals of R course by going deeper on each of the same three topics: data wrangling and analysis, data visualization, and Quarto. You’ll learn to get your data into the shape you need, visualize it beautifully, and present it in reports, presentations, dashboards, and more.
