R Programming Foundations for Data Science

Data-driven decision-making starts with the right tools, and R remains one of the most powerful languages designed specifically for statistical analysis and data science. This text-based course guides you through the core concepts of R, helping you write clean, efficient code from day one. You will transition from a complete beginner to a confident data analyst capable of manipulating datasets and generating meaningful insights. By focusing on modern R workflows, you will learn how to structure your projects, handle diverse data types, and prepare raw data for analysis. What you'll learn: - Understand fundamental R syntax, variables, and essential data structures like vectors, lists, and data frames. - Apply modern data manipulation techniques using the tidyverse ecosystem, including dplyr. - Write clean, reusable code using control flow, logical operations, and custom functions. - Import and clean messy datasets to prepare them for exploratory data analysis. - Create basic data visualizations to communicate key patterns and insights. - Practice organizing data science projects using reproducible workflows. The course starts with basic programming concepts and core syntax before moving into practical data manipulation and visualization techniques. You will read through clear explanations and analyze real-world code snippets to build your confidence step-by-step. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior programming or statistical experience who want to start their journey in data science.
