R workshop, not a course (Summer ’24)

I figured I would just dump some info on this page so that it is easy for you all to access it.

Objective for this workshop

1.5hr/day multi-day workshop. The first few meetings will be basic R, plotting and tidyverse, and then we can go in any direction that you guys would like. I will try to update this webpage after each meeting.

Preliminaries

You will need to download R and R Studio for this workshop. R is the real programming engine, and by itself is sufficient to do the stuff we will do. R Studio is just a nice “front-end” (IDE = Integrated Development Environment) that allows you to look at everything you need in one “integrated” window. Installation locations:

  1. Install R.
  2. Install R Studio.

You can download the FREE version of RStudio Desktop. Please make sure to install both before the first meeting so that we don’t waste time on download/installation during the meeting.
