Data Science with R

A hands-on introduction to R!

Are you looking for an open-source tool that is known for easy navigation, manipulation, interaction, and scriptwriting? This is your chance to experience R (in RStudio) with an experienced trainer to guide you. You will learn how to apply the Tidyverse stack, how to create interactive ML dashboards with Shiny, as well as how to integrate R with databases, Spark, and the H2O Machine Learning tooling.

Data Science with R is perfect for

Data Science with R is great for Data Scientists who want to use R and also learn more about Shiny, Dpylr, Spark, and H2O. The training is at a Foundation level, which means we start with the basics. You do not need any programming experience, although it does help. You do need to have strong analytics skills.

What will you learn during Data Science with R?

Through instructor-led discussion and interactive, hands-on exercises, you will get to know the tools that R offers. There will be many moments where you need to program. We have a large pool of topics that we can discuss with the group. Depending on the participants' needs, we might choose to focus more on certain parts than on others.
