R is a programming language with statistical computing and data visualization functions. It has established itself as a workhorse in various branches of science due to its high modularity and package system, and the high-quality graphics it can produce with relative ease. While extremely powerful, R in itself is hard to master because its graphical interface is rudimentary. RStudio thrives to solve this problem by offering a development environment for R, with a console, syntax-highlighting editor that supports direct code execution, and tools for plotting, history, debugging and workspace management. This course offers beginners an easy, step-by-step introduction to the R and RStudio Environment with a gentle learning curve. It covers topics such as data import, basics of data handling as well as an introduction to data visualization and communication.
The current project aims at a revision of the previous version.
