2018/07/04: R for Data Science From Scratch
This was a practical workshop of 2.5hs, based on the book “R Programming for Data Science” by Roger Peng. It started with the basics, such as what is a variable, and we made some very basic plots using ggplot2. The idea was to introduce the members to programming, as most of them came from diverse backgrounds and had never programmed before.
