Resources for Getting Started with R
R, the open source statistical software environment, is powerful but can be a challenge to approach for beginners. For me, the best way to learn R, especially on the visualization side of things, is to dive right in. Grab some data and make some charts, or better yet, find a graph you like and try to replicate it.
R core functionality and the many available packages let you do a lot without having to know what’s going on underneath. I use this approach in Visualize This and the tutorials around here. I like the satisfaction of immediate results. Then I learn the nitty gritty later.
That said, it doesn’t hurt to familiarize yourself with the environment. Also, visualization is a small part of what you can do with R, so it can help to know what else you can do analysis-wise.
