In this session we'll cover basic scientific programming in the R language.
We'll be working through the materials here using RStudio.
If you already have experience with R, I suggest you work through the material at your own pace. If you reach the end before the end of the session, you can move on to Hadley Wickham's Advanced R onine book and begin working through that. If that seems like a bit too much, check out the Software Carpentry course on analysing scientific data with R.
If you are aready experienced with another programming language, I suggest you read through the LearnXinYminutes for R as well as working through the original materials at your own pace.
