Going From Beginner to Advanced in the Tidyverse

I have created the course for all Tidyverse learners who feel they have reached a plateau in their skills. If you are familiar with the basic functions such as mutate, filter, select or arrange and want to improve, this course is for you.

While the basics of Tidyverse are covered very well in dozens of good offerings, it's hard to find the tricks and features that separate Tidyverse beginners from very good programmers. Most of the tricks are scattered in hundreds of forums, blog posts and documentation. That's why in June 2022 I started to bundle all the tricks into a single resource. This course is, in my opinion, the most dense and best resource to learn all the good parts of the Tidyverse. You don't have to take this course, but investing in it will save you a lot of time researching online. I've spent 300 hours searching the internet and compiling all the tricks I could find into this unique resource so you don't have to.

This is not just a video course! The course comes with a 360-page PDF book that accompanies the chapters of this book. The book goes into much more detail than the videos and includes some topics not covered in the videos.

The online course includes 30 concrete tips structured along specific improvements:
