R is a programming language created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman in 1993. It was designed for analytics, statistics, and data visualizations. Nowadays, R can handle anything from basic programming to machine learning and deep learning. Today we will explore how to approach learning and practicing R for programmers.

As mentioned before, R can do almost anything. It performs the best when applied to anything data related – such as statistics, data science, and machine learning.

The language is most widely used in academia, but many large companies such as Google, Facebook, Uber, and Airbnb use it daily.

Today you’ll learn how to:

  • Load datasets
  • Scrape Webpages
  • Build REST APIs
  • Analyze Data and Show Statistical Summaries
  • Visualize Data
  • Train a Machine Learning Model
  • Develop Simple Web Applications
