Course Description

Self-directed bootcamp for learning the basics of data manipulation with the tidyverse. We start with visualization and ask fun questions of the data.

Learn how ggplot2 turns variables into statistical graphics

Learn how to manipulate data into a ggplot2 friendly format

Now we have tidy data, let's start doing some statistics!
