What a good question. This is not supposed to be an exhaustive treatise on all things R. This is supposed to be a launching pad, specifically designed with your course content requirements in mind, to get you started learning the wonderful world of R. There are tons of things we’ll only touch on briefly (or not at all!) and we don’t want you to think that this page is the be-all and end-all of R. However, we do want you (the student) to use this resource as an initial jumping off point when starting to work in R, or when you have a question about R. Here we’ve tried to include pieces of content that students often need when they start their learning journey. The goal is to get you off the ground, then you can specialize your skills how you want later.

That’s enough for now, scroll down to find the basic components we cover here in the R manual and click on a section to get started with your learning journey. As a side note, we will soon have complete search functionality for this site! Stay tuned for that.
