R-tidyverse introduction for beginners

Description

This training session is intended for scientists willing to explore their data in a programmatic and reproducible environment. Tidyverse - an R-language dialect designed to make data science fast, fluent and fun - is suitable for scientists without advanced knowledge in programming. In this one-day crash course, you will learn the fundamental principles of importing, organising, transforming and visualising data. The course is highly inspired by the book “R for Data Science” from Hadley Wickham. Successful completion of the course is good introduction for a longer four-day course in May 2020.

Requirements

The training is designed for participants with no experience in R. Please bring a personal or professional laptop with administrator access with a recent version of R, RStudio and the tidyverse packages installed. Installation instructions can be found here.
