Watch The next million R users with Carl Howe on RStudio Resources.
Many students believe that R is obscure, complex, and difficult to write. However, data from a new large-scale survey of R users conducted by RStudio shows that new R users are taking dramatically different learning paths from those who learned R as recently as 2 years ago, and these new learning paths are changing its perception. In this talk, we'll present this new survey data, describe how new tools and techniques for teaching R can satisfy the demands of today's R learners, and outline a vision for adding millions of new R users to our community.
