R LANGUAGE

COURSE DETAILS

R is a powerful language for data analysis, data visualization, machine learning, statistics. Originally developed for statistical programming, it is now one of the most popular languages in data science. In this course, you’ll be learning about the basics of R, and you’ll end with the confidence to start writing your own R scripts. But this isn’t your typical textbook introduction to R. You’re not just learning about R fundamentals, you’ll be using R to solve problems related to movies data. Using a concrete example makes the learning painless.

You will learn about the fundamentals of R syntax, including assigning variables and doing simple operations with one of R’s most important data structures — vectors! From vectors, you’ll then learn about lists, matrix, arrays and data frames. Then you’ll jump into conditional statements, functions, classes and debugging. Once you’ve covered the basics – you’ll learn about reading and writing data in R, whether it’s a table format (CSV, Excel) or a text file (.txt). Finally, you’ll end with some important functions for character strings and dates in R.

During this journey, you’ll get practice applying some of the most important DESIGN PATTERNS that competent developers must have under their belt. There are so many design patterns out there, but we’ll be thoroughly covering only the most important ones. Save yourself the time from learning all the design patterns and going into a design frenzy. Focus on the 20% that covers 80% of the scenarios and add miles to your programming efficiency.

These cover 80% of patterns used out there in professional software development.

The topics can be applied to pretty much any language. But, we’ll be using R Language, so I expect you to be familiar with the basic language constructs such as classes, methods, and interfaces. But don’t worry if you don’t know about these, I’ve taken the time to create 6 comprehensive prerequisite lessons on introduction to object orientation. In these lessons, newcomers can learn about the basics of R Language:

I’m certain that, by practicing the concepts covered, you’ll make a substantial leap forward in your programming career. I hope to see you in the coming lessons.
