PAMy second most asked question is always how I learnt R
I taught myself mainly by just trial and error (I have to actually physically do something I can’t just watch videos as I don’t take it in) so I started with the very basics.
I think it’s so easy to overdo and feel like you need to know how to do everything or a lot of things at the start. Stick to simple things like understanding the R studio interface and loading packages and other basic commands
(after this most things I learnt were googling very specifically what I needed to do and adding the command to a ‘useful command’ list I have)
Next:
Following a vignette from start to finish (one that would be similar to what I would soon need) I then would go through and click on functions to look at the arguments (this tells you all the parameters for the function) and how I can change them if needed!
Finally try swirl it’s so easy to just load directly in the terminal and you learn as you go!
What’s your top tips?
I also have so many more so make sure you follow!
