Let me know - what other resources have you found useful for learning R?

I liked "R for Data Science" and learned a lot of the basics from it. However, I feel like it could be updated and possibly expanded to cover more content. I feel like the authors could really turn this into the Bible of R in future editions. I wish there was a R project workbook/exercise workbook with solutions - you see a lot of these in Python but not really in R. Do you know of any resources that provide exercises/projects in R? I've tried DataCamp but didn't really like the structured nature of it. Another good one (a classic, actually) is "An Introduction to Statistical Learning" by James, Witten, Hastie & Tibshirani although it doesn't really use the tidyverse. It goes through theory but not too much for non-mathematicians. A good one for tidyverse machine learning is "Machine Learning with R, the tidyverse and mlr" by Heffen Rhys. It's pretty recent and you shouldn't have any issues with 'legacy' code not working. I am currently going through "R Graphics Cookbook" by Winston Chang and it seems great for improving your ggplot2/visualisation skills. I haven't read "Fundamentals of Data Visualization" but that may be next on the list. I also have "Advanced R" but haven't read a single page of it yet - I'll get through it eventually............ Finally, a really good way to learn R is to actually use it. When I started my own project in R, I was shocked at how little of the basics I actually knew (like importing Excel data sets). I am trying to learn web scraping at the moment with R but yet to find a comprehensive resource to learn from.

Yeah there’s a constant tension over whether tidyverse should be the new R

I have greatly benefitted from contributed documents in cran repository during my early days.

Best R book I’ve read is statistical rethinking. Not really about R but is written to be used in R. The book and online lectures are a great resource for fully understanding what generalized linear models are doing and how to make Bayesian models.

Hey Jim - Thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to check it out

I believe that the Kaggle is one of the most important parts of this learning process. The good thing about the Kaggle is you can see firsthand how professional data scientists handle real-world data. And I should also note that When I first started to R, I was trying to create my own custom t-test, anova, and other "basic" custom functions and compare them with R core functions. That was my best learning process. (Well, still learning from this channel btw lol)

That’s fantastic advice. Thanks! I have to admit that I’m pretty intimidated by kaggle and expect for one or two of my lab’s code clubs I’ve never ventured in. Maybe I should do something about that. Thanks again!

I checked the website for DANG! It appears that perhaps they have disbanded as there are no upcoming events this year?

I think Covid paused their activities. Feel free to email me and I can connect you with the organizers
