R is a programming language that is especially powerful for data exploration, visualization, and statistical analysis. To interact with R, we use RStudio.

This workshop is for novices and will focus on teaching the fundamentals of the programming language R, and will not teach statistical analysis.

The UC Carpentries Fall Workshop Series aims to introduce researchers to basic concepts, skills, and tools in programming and data management. During this workshop, we will cover foundational R and Python coding, data management practices and tools, automation, and version control. This series is designed for novices and you do not need to have any previous knowledge of the topics that will be presented at the workshop. 

Workshop topics taught as daily sessions Monday - Thursday over the course of two weeks. Participants can register for each topic as stand alone training sessions, with the exception of the R and Python topics which each have two session days (part 1 and part 2).

Participants are encouraged to help one another and to apply what they learn to their own research problems.

This is a free workshop and is open to all University of California students, staff and faculty.
