1 Introduction to programming in R

Title image. Read about it there.

Welcome to programming in R! This module will serve as a tutorial to help you get acquainted with the R programming environment, and will get you started with some basic tools and information that will help you along your way.

We will use the Rstudio IDE to work with R in this class. It is important to note here that R is the program doing all of the thinking when we write and run code, and RStudio is a software tool that makes it a little easier to work with R - so we’re going to need them both (plus a few other tools we’ll check out along the way).
