Following the success of this project, my team decided to use R Markdown documents to produce the documentation for some of our other projects, which demonstrates how my knowledge of R Markdown has helped me to generate impact.
I can definitely recommend a few books which I’ve found especially useful when it came to developing my skills as a data scientist with R, in addition to the ones which I’ve already mentioned.
I’ve now taught R to other people in all three of my europe rcs data most recent jobs, and the one book I always recommend to anyone who is trying to learn R from scratch is R for Data Science by Hadley Wickham and Garrett Grolemund (like a lot of books about R, this is available as a free online ‘book’ which has been created using R’s bookdown package and hosted online, or you can also buy a physical copy). This was the book from which I first really learned about the power of the tidyverse and ggplot, and it explains everything a beginner needs to learn to start undertaking data analysis projects from beginning to end within R.
Hadley Wickham is both an incredibly influential R developer and an accessible and entertaining writer, so I would also highly recommend any of his other books.
