Data wrangling, exploration, and analysis with R Jennifer (Jenny) Bryan.
Graduate level class that uses R for “data wrangling, exploration and analysis.” If you are self-motivated, you will be hard pressed to find better notes, additional links and resources for an R course anywhere. More difficult on your own but work through this course and you will have some serious R chops to build upon.
It just occurred to me that a requirement for news channels should have sub-titles that list data repositories for each story reported. So you could load of the data while the report in ongoing.
I first saw this in a tweet by Neil Saunders.
