Mapping with R has been completely revamped. Check it out →
R for the Rest of Us Logo

When you think of making maps, you probably think of complicated, expensive tools like ArcGIS. What if I told you that you could make maps with R, a tool you already know how to use? 

You don’t need to invest hours and hours learning a completely new tool. And you don’t need to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars for a license to use that tool.  

In recent years, R has become a fully-fledged tool for doing geospatial work. You can clean, wrangle, and analyze geospatial data with R. And of course, you can make maps with it. 

Not just any maps. Beautiful maps like these. 

Map of where in the United States people speak languages other than English.

Mapping with R will help you do all of this. You’ll learn the fundamentals of working with geospatial data in R. You’ll learn to create high-quality static maps. You'll learn how to make interactive maps. And much, much more.

Don’t waste your time and your money learning to make maps in other tools. R is a fully-fledged map making tool that is just waiting for you to use it. Get started today and you’ll be making maps in R in no time.

About the Instructor

I’m not a hardcore quant (my PhD is in anthropology).

I’m not a coder ready to jump on you for any small mistake. I want to help others avoid the pain that I went through learning R.

A teacher at heart (shoutout to my former second grade students), I make R less scary and more fun (yes, fun).

What People Say

Your succinct lessons were the gateway for my fast advancement. By learning the basics from this course, I have already gone down the deep end of conducting inferential statistics, machine learning, and other advanced analyses. I've already impressed my boss with my first HTML report to our VP!

I had taken an introductory R course with R for the Rest of Us before, so I knew what was possible. Since the beginning of this project, we decided to approach David and team to automate a process that would have otherwise been cumbersome and more prone to error. In addition, the high-quality graphics, layout, and overall data visualization support was an added bonus that we very much appreciated. Ultimately, the automated process allowed us to create high-quality, accurate reports for all U.S. states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico that will inform census advocates as they learn from the 2020 experience and prepare to support an accurate and fair 2030 Census.

At first, I thought R was only for stats-minded people and was outside of my wheelhouse as a person who deals more with data extraction, transformation and reporting. However, after going through the R for the Rest of Us courses and learning from David about the vast capabilities of R, I quickly discovered R IS EXACTLY for people like me! Its strength in creating efficient data processing and reporting workflows is beyond amazing, and David – with his deep knowledge and genuine desire to teach and build capacity – is the perfect R guide!

Good quick overview. I'm likely to take more courses from them in the near future. The mapping course looks very interesting.

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!

R for the Rest of Us is such a helpful platform to get started in R or to improve your knowledge and skills in R! The courses are well-structured and paced. Looking forward to continuing my R learning journey!

Satisfactory

Greg Rousell Grand Erie District School Board

This course is fantastic! I can't say enough good things about it. There were a few basic functions that I had already learned in R but I had always struggled with retaining the information because I'd never quite understood the grammar around how to piece functions together. David breaks down everything into really easy to understand and digestible chunks. I was asked to complete an assessment in R for a job interview only 2 days after finishing this course; I was able to complete the assessment and was asked to progress to the next stage of interviewing. With a lifetime access, this course is well worth the money. I would 100% recommend this course to a friend or colleague.
