How great is that!! I never thought that TH-cam would one day bring me to see the answers to the questions I was looking for from an old colleague. Many thanks, Dr-Selina
Good question. I would say it depends on what you want to learn. E.g. do you want to use R for programming or for data analysis? I don't know the best videos for learning R, but two (free) books I recommend to my students to get started with are and data analysis are: 1) Hands-On Programming with R - Gives a nice intro to R from the very beginning: rstudio-education.github.io/hopr/ 2) R for Data Science - Learn how to use R and the tidyverse packages for intuitive data analysis (from reading data, cleaning, transforming it to visualization): r4ds.hadley.nz/intro If anyone knows good videos, feel free to post them below :)
@@selinabaldauf7529 Thank you! 😊For data analysis and because there is so many people using data for propaganda purposes it would be nice to be able to check and analyse the info myself, where should I start? maths? statistics? or straight to R, I'm not sure but how would you fact check dubious data claims that get shared on social media
This is a very big question that I think does not have a single good answer. If your goal is only debunking, then I think the best and fastest option is to look for reliable fact checker websites/accounts that already do this with a lot of experience. Debunking the information yourself requires you to get the raw data (which can already be tricky sometimes), know the right statistics and know an analysis software like R. So that is quite an investment of time. But of course also fun to learn, so don't let me stop you 😊
No it's not. You can use many different combinations of programming languages and IDEs. If you are e.g. an R user and you use RStudio, you can also integrate Github Copilot there (although without the chat functionality). Check out the step-by-step guide that I linked in the video description. There I describe how to get Github Copilot and I link how you can set it up with VS Code, but also with R Studio.
Great Video
Thank you for your effort ❤

what videos are best for someone new to r and programming in general.

Is it mandatory to use R within VS?
No it's not. You can use many different combinations of programming languages and IDEs. If you are e.g. an R user and you use RStudio, you can also integrate Github Copilot there (although without the chat functionality).
