#### [**2\. R Programming**](https://www.coursera.org/learn/r-programming?ranMID=40328&ranEAID=jU79Zysihs4&ranSiteID=jU79Zysihs4-wlNacpwekbDt5F6qTjNvCg&siteID=jU79Zysihs4-wlNacpwekbDt5F6qTjNvCg&utm_content=10&utm_medium=partners&utm_source=linkshare&utm_campaign=jU79Zysihs4)

This course will teach you how to program in R and use R for practical data analysis. You will learn how to install and configure software necessary for a statistical programming environment and describe generic programming language concepts as they are implemented in a high-level statistical language. The course covers practical issues in statistical computing, including programming in R, reading data into R, accessing R packages, writing R functions, debugging, profiling R code, and organizing and commenting R code. Topics in statistical data analysis will provide working examples.

#### [**3\. Introduction to R**](https://www.datacamp.com/courses/free-introduction-to-r)

In an Introduction to R, you will master the basics of this widely used open-source language, including factors, lists, and data frames. With the knowledge gained in this course, you will be ready to undertake your first very own data analysis. Oracle estimated over 2 million R users worldwide in 2012, cementing R as a leading programming language in statistics and data science. Every year, the number of R users grows by about 40%, and an increasing number of organizations are using it in their day-to-day activities. Begin your journey to learn R with us today!

#### [**4\. R for Data Science**](https://r4ds.had.co.nz/)

This book will teach you how to do data science with R: You'll learn how to get your data into R, get it into the most useful structure, transform it, visualize it, and model it. In this book, you will find a practicum of skills for data science. Just as a chemist learns how to clean test tubes and stock a lab, you'll learn how to clean data and draw plots --- and many other things besides. These are the skills that allow data science to happen, and here you will find the best practices for doing each of these things with R. You'll learn how to use the grammar of graphics, literate programming, and reproducible research to save time. You'll also learn to manage cognitive resources to facilitate discoveries when wrangling, visualizing, and exploring data.
