Hello every one! I'm really excited to finally introduce you and the world to "Prelude in R". www.preludeinR.com As you might have guessed by the name, this website is designed to give any person (students, managers, wildlife professionals, etc) the keys to start learning R, from scratch, using humor, practical examples, and exercises. If you want to learn or progress in R, and love bad jokes and even worse puns, that's the place for you! One of the biggest issues I've seen with introductions to R is how "dry" they can be. While effective, they can struggle to keep the reader engaged. More importantly, it can seem esoteric for someone with little to no experience in coding and stats. This is what I've tried to tackle here. An introduction in R where you can smile once in a while (if anything at how ridiculous the jokes are), while providing everything you need to start and become self-sufficient using R! Feel free to share this website with anyone that could either get a chuckle out of it, or find it useful. If you want to use it for classes, go for it! If you find this site so beautiful you feel the irresistible need to print it on a canvas, and put it as the centerpiece in your living room... Well... Send pictures, because I'd love to see that! If you notice errors, or important things that are missing, let me know! Cheers everybody, you're awesome! Florent Bled [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
