R is a powerful language for data analysis, data visualization, machine learning, and statistics. 

This isn't your typical textbook introduction to R. You're not just learning about R fundamentals; you'll be using R to solve problems related to movie data. Using a concrete example makes learning painless. You will learn about the fundamentals of R syntax, including assigning variables and doing simple operations with one of R's most important data structures -- vectors!

You'll then learn about lists, matrices, arrays and data frames from vectors. Then, you'll jump into conditional statements, functions, classes and debugging. Once you've covered the basics - you'll learn about reading and writing data in R, whether it's a table format (CSV, Excel) or a text file (.txt). Finally, you'll end with some important functions for character strings and dates in R.
