R for Social Scientists

R is quickly gaining popularity as a programming language of choice for researchers. It has an excellent ecosystem including the powerful RStudio development environment.

But getting started with R can be challenging, particularly if you've never programmed before. That's where this introductory course comes in.

Join us for a live coding workshop where we write programs that produce results, using the researcher-focused training modules from the highly regarded Data Carpentry.

You'll learn:

  • Basic syntax and data types in R
  • RStudio interface
  • How to import CSV files into R
  • The structure of data frames
  • A brief introduction to data wrangling and data transformation
  • How to calculate summary statistics
  • A brief introduction to visualise data

Prerequisites:

No prior experience with programming needed to attend this course.
