Practical R for everyone with Steph Locke

Description
Level 100 - Beginner

This hands-on one-day training takes you through the following topics – fundamentals of R, R for ETL, producing reports, and doing data science. Starting with some simple data manipulation, we’ll quickly progress to tools that can make an immediate impact in your day job.

• For ETL, we’ll look at ways to import and export data, transform it, and apply data quality checks along the way.
• For producing reports we’ll see how we can build web reports, PDFs, and interactive dashboards.
• For data science, we’ll look at how R supports you along the process.

By the end of the day, you’ll know some R (including some advanced stuff!) that you can add to your toolbelt.

Prerequisites

This is hands-on so make sure to bring your laptop - we'll be using a lab environment online but installing R and RStudio as a backup or so you can try things with your data can be useful.
