New 2024 -- Using Python with RStudio has never been easier! New lectures added!

RStudio (Posit) is the best IDE there is for R Programmers and Data Professionals.
It was initially created for R users and currently supports Python, SQL, C++, D3, and other programming languages.

It also facilitates the creation of R packages, Shiny Applications, Markdown documents, Quarto Documents, books, blogs, websites, Quarto Presentations (new!), APIs.

RStudio is what made R great and now millions of data scientists use R on daily basis.

I have taught R & RStudio to over 1,000 people and always emphasized the importance of understanding all the features of the RStudio API.

Having a friendly and ergonomic interface is very important.
