Start Learning R

R - the most trending and in-demand programming language that deals with statistics computation and graphics. R can be considered as the language of Data Science. It has proved its versatility by providing a variety of statistical and graphical techniques to produce well-disciplined analytical results in the form of plots and models. Moreover, R is handy and is highly scalable. Now R is gaining popularity in the programming world because of the aforementioned reasons.

For any learner, be it an absolute beginner or experienced developer, R is worth learning because it opens you to a wide spectrum of career options like R programmer, data scientist, data analysts, business analysts, data visualization experts, business intelligence experts, geo statistician, and the list goes on. If you are a newcomer in the world of programming,  you can undeniably choose R as your first programming language because R language is designed in such a way that anyone can grasp the syntax very easily and quickly even if they don’t have technical skill sets. Those who have already acquired basic programming knowledge( C and Fortran) can easily get along with R as it is written mainly in C, Fortran, and R itself. Though its syntax is simple to learn, you can find the learning curve a bit steep because we are working on big data and have to become acquainted with the algorithms required for modeling the data.

Why R

In upcoming tutorials, you will learn about R and its features but now here we will give you an insight into why you should learn R? 

  • The first and foremost reason you should learn R is “R IS FREELY AVAILABLE ”. This means unlike other statistical software like SAS, SPSS, etc R is an open-source environment and is available at free of cost to its users. You can start learning R or building applications in R free of cost and can utilize the wide array of open-source libraries as well.
  • The next eye-catching reason why you should learn R is that “R IS HIGHLY EXTENSIBLE ”- the use of numerous packages and libraries enables the extensibility of the language.
  • Thirdly, “R IS PLATFORM INDEPENDENT”,  the powerful feature that endorsed the popularity of R back from its creation till today.
  • Another quite interesting reason that makes R different from other languages is its “ROBUST COMMUNITY AND EXCELLENT DOCUMENTATION” - R is well documented with detailed guides to the issues that arise while coding. If this is not enough you can seek support from well-trusted and active communities who are ready to fix any troubles caused during programming or even to help new starters.

Through Learn eTutorials you will get a thorough understanding of R programming language from fundamental concepts to advanced levels which will take you to another career path that you might not expect. This tutorial provides you an opportunity to learn R free of cost with our 100+ simple and easy R programs and quizzes. Grasp all that you need in just one click.
