<H2>Why do this course?</H2>
<P>R is quickly gaining popularity as a programming language of choice for statisticians, data scientists and researchers. It has an excellent ecosystem including the powerful RStudio development environment and the Shiny web application framework.</P>
<P>But getting started with R can be challenging, particularly if you've never programmed before. That's where this introductory course comes in.</P>
<P>Join us for a live coding workshop where we write programs that produce results, using the researcher-focused training modules from the highly regarded Software Carpentry Foundation (software-carpentry.org).<BR></P>
<H2>You’ll learn:</H2>
<UL>
<LI>Programming concepts and techniques.</LI>
<LI>How to load external data into R.</LI>
<LI>Basic syntax, control structures and data types in R.</LI>
<LI>How to use Data Frames.</LI>

<H2>The Intersect approach to training</H2>
<P>At Intersect, we work closely with our member universities to develop and deliver training that targets the day-to-day software and technology problems that researchers face. We deliver hands-on courses in a relaxed setting with knowledgeable, helpful trainers who are themselves researchers and who know how researchers work. </P>
