Intro to R - Part 1
Intro to R - Part 1 Online
In Part 1, you will learn what R and RStudio are, and have the opportunity to install the software, explore the interface, and run code.
If you have used RStudio in a previous class or workshop, you are likely to know this content. Feel free to skip Part 1 if you are comfortable with the following topics.
You are strongly encouraged to be ready to follow-along to install and explore the software on your own computer during the workshop. You may wish to be prepared to share your screen so that you can more easily get assistance if you have problems or questions.
Topics
- What is R and why you might want to use it
- Installing R and RStudio and the difference between them
- The RStudio workspace
- Creating, opening, and saving script files
