Mirai Solutions :: Learning Path: Introduction to R

Back to overview

With our “Introduction to R” learning path you can add R to your data science skills: from the basis of the syntax to building and hosting an R package on GitHub.

R stands out as a programming language for statistical computing and data visualization, offering advanced capabilities for data exploration, manipulation, visualization, and analysis. This online workshop path is the ideal opportunity to strengthen your foundations in R programming.

It can cater to both total beginners looking for a start-up course in R and experienced users seeking to enhance their approach to professional R development. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of R programming, offering practical examples, and optimal development methodology with the correct tools provided by the R ecosystem. Attendees will reinforce their understanding through hands-on exercises in experiential, agile, and dynamic workshop sessions.

Gain insights from industry experts with over a decade of professional experience in utilizing R, as they guide you through the effective utilization of R and its extensive capabilities.

Start your journey with the fundamentals of the R language following our “R basics - objects, functions and operations” workshop. Video recordings for this workshop are available on our YouTube Channel: Register for free to get access to the videos and to receive the workshop materials.
Follow up (or start) with easy data analysis for everyone using tidyverse: Learn how to extract, manipulate and explore your data with readable, streamlined and professional code, at the “Data analysis with tidyverse” workshop.
Continue by bringing your programming skills to the next level with the “Programming R” workshop.
Package your code, learn about building, testing and documenting an R package using the R development kit, and control package dependencies with package renv (and its latest enhancements introduced in version 1.x.x throughout 2023) during the “Build an R package” workshop.
Closing up the series, learn about hosting an R package on GitHub, implement Continuous Integration (CI) with state-of-the-art GitHub Actions and collaborate with a GitFlow approach, during the “Becoming an R developer” workshop.
