Getting Started

Importance Level: Low
R is a Language
Aaron Mamula

  • Fun-ness: Medium

    Suggested For: Very early beginners

    I talk pretty slow, if you adjust your YouTube settings to 1.5X playback speed you won't miss anything important and will save yourself several minutes

Dealing with Packages and Libraries
Aaron Mamula

  • Fun-ness: Low

    Suggested For: Begginers

    There is a lot of background noise in this one. Sorry if that is distracting. I'm pretty sure my daughter's remote 1st grade class has reached the point where everyday is show off your dog/cat day

R Studio with git & GitHub
Aaron Mamula

  • Fun-ness: Medium

    Suggested For: Anyone interested in collaboration tools or reproducable research

    The real sticking point to full git/GitHub adoption in my experience is setting up git. I do not address this issue in depth here (I provide links to some good tutorials) but I do provide some illustrations of what an R Studio-git-GitHub workflow looks like

Sourcing an R Script from the Terminal (Command Line)
Aaron Mamula

  • Fun-ness: Low

    Suggested For: Mostly intermediate users but might be useful for beginners as well

    This video provides an illustration of how to run an R Script from the Terminal or Command Line. It probably is not the most practical skill but I think it helps with overall understanding of the R language

R Studio

Medium-High
R Studio Intro
Aaron Mamula

  • Fun-ness: Low

    Suggested For: Everyone not currently in love with R Studio

    I again suggest using a 1.5X or 2X playback speed. I don't think you'll miss anything critical and you'll save a lot of time
