Acquisition of introductory procedural programming skills and knowledge of the R programming language. Ability to develop (basic) programs, especially for data science.
This basic level course offers a gentle introduction to programming with R. It is dedicated to non-computer science students without any prior experience in programming.
The course will start with an introduction to the concepts of procedural programming followed by an introduction to R. The students will learn about data types, basic control flows, functions, and data import/export. Students will be guided from novice to intermediate level in programming by learning concepts and doing practical examples/exercises of increasing difficulty.
