Welcome – The wayward teachR

The idea behind this blog is to showcase the use of R primarily in (but not limited to) education. That really is it.

R is a statistical programming language that is incredibly versatile. Want to do some serious number-crunching? R is your friend. Want to visualise large datasets? R is your friend. Want to make interactive data dashboards? R is your friend. Want to author reproducible reports? R is your friend.

If you want to keep up with me, you will need to do the following:

head over to CRAN and install R;
head over to RStudio and install RStudio — this will allow you to code in R without losing your sanity;
open up RStudio and install the {tidyverse} package. You can do this in the *console* pane of RStudio by typing

install.packages("tidyverse")

If you need more help on the installation process, this article does a great job of explaining everything: https://rstudio-education.github.io/hopr/starting.html

Let’s R!
