Intended audience:
- Beginner programmers interested in learning R
- Individuals familiar with coding in other languages but new to R
- Those with experience using base R but want to transition to the tidyverse
Participants should have a basic understanding of programming concepts such as variables, data structures, and functions.
Presentation details:
In this workshop, participants will explore the fundamentals of data visualization by learning how to create essential types of plots, including bar plots, line plots, and scatter plots. Through hands-on exercises, you''ll gain practical experience in using ggplot2 to effectively communicate your findings and enhance your analytical skills.
