It has an excellent ecosystem including the powerful RStudio development environment.  \n  \n But getting started with R can be challenging, particularly if you’ve never programmed before. That’s where this introductory course comes in.  \n  \n Join us for a live coding workshop where we write programs that produce results, using the researcher-focused training modules from the highly regarded Data Carpentry.\n\nBasic syntax and data types in R  \n RStudio interface  \n How to import CSV files into R  \n The structure of data frames  \n A brief introduction to data wrangling and data transformation  \n How to calculate summary statistics  \n A brief introduction to visualise data\n\nNo prior experience with programming needed to attend this course.","doi":null,"licence":"CC-BY-4.0","contact":"training@intersect.org.au","keywords":["R"],"remote_updated_date":null,"remote_created_date":null,"created_at":"2022-06-07T05:14:39.185Z","updated_at":"2025-12-15T14:00:21.703Z","content_provider_id":5,"target_audience":[],"authors":["The Carpentries"],"contributors":[],"subsets":[],"resource_type":[],"other_types":null,"version":null,"status":"inactive","date_created":null,"date_modified":null,"date_published":null,"prerequisites":null,"syllabus":null,"learning_objectives":null,"fields":[],"scientific_topics":[],"operations":[]}
