R resources
Classes, tutorials, resources
This is by no means a complete list, but they are sites or tutorials that I have at least dabbled with and found useful. There is an immense amount of training materials around R scattered across the web, some of it more geared to Tidyverse and some of it not.
-R for Data Science (online book)
-Excel vs R: A Brief Introduction to R
-Aggregating and analyzing data with dplyr
-Storybench is compiling lots of useful tutorials and tips for working in R.
-How Do I?… A searchable index of tasks and tips collected by data journalist Sharon Machlis. Also check out her book, Practice R for Mass Communication and Journalism.
-Peter Aldous’ Data Analysis with R training materials. This site really opened the door for me. It focuses on the SQL-like capabilities of the dplyr package and using ggplot2 for visualizations and uses real journalism examples.
-Ron Campbell’s Intro to R hands-on class from NICAR18. This one is a little more advanced and uses more Base R than the others.
-Beginner’s guide to R, by Sharon Machlis. This covers a lot of basic ground and provides a ton of useful links
-This tutorial from NICAR18 by Caelinn Barr covers how to scrape data from a website and some other slightly more advanced concepts.
-.Rddj, resources for doing data journalism with R.
-What they forgot to teach you about R
