R is a free, open-source software environment for statistical analysis as well as cleaning, manipulating, and visualizing quantitative data. Recent community-authored tools have extended R’s functionality into geospatial mapping, Open-Science publishing, development of web applications, and machine learning as well. In this online, hands-on workshop, we’ll get an overview of these activities in R using the RStudio environment. Topics include: 

• Orientation to the RStudio interface 

• Opening, viewing, and saving tabular data files (spreadsheets) 

• Installing and using community-authored packages 

• Basic operations and calculations in R 

• Some possible next steps for learning R
