R was one of the first programming languages I learned and fell in love with. My introduction to R came when I took a statistics course in graduate school circa 2008. I was immediately hooked on the complexity and beauty of expressing ideas as code and to create data analyses and software.
After 15 years working with R, in May 2023 I designed and taught my first workshop covering beginner basics of R and focusing on examples for data wrangling, visualization and multivariate modeling. The full course spans 14 hours of material culminating with an introduction to making reproducible reports with quarto and using AI code generation tools.
