Getting started with R

If you are new to the R programming language, our new R users guide is a great place to start!

After going through some basics, we recommend visiting the seascape models website. They have a lot of courses using R, from introduction to R to modeling, and they use marine data, which makes it easier to learn from as we are familiar with analysing marine data. A course that we would recommend to start with is the Cleaning ecological survey data for conservation scientists, where they use reef fish data.
