Aims
This course provides a gentle and stepwise introduction to the world of R programming. After completion of this course, you will master the basics of programming in R. In particular, you can
  1. Create, load and manipulate data
  2. Perform exploratory data analysis
  3. Visualize your data in attractive graphs
  4. Create efficient code by applying functions to series of objects
  5. Find help and resources to take your coding skills to a next level.
Content
This course consists of eight learning units each covering a specific aspect of R programming. Each learning unit consists of a short introduction of the topic, followed by an interactive session. In the interactive part, the explanation of new concepts and functions is alternated with small exercises, so you get the chance to immediately practice what you learnt. For further practicing, most of the learning units also include a practical consisting of a set of exercises of increasing difficulty, so you learn how to combine and organize multiple operations in a structured workflow. The course is concluded with a final exam.
