Beginners Guide for R through Open Data Science Practices

This repository was imported directly from the Carpentries Incubator corresponding lesson website from The Carpentries repertoire of lessons with minor modifications.

The workshop is organised by Metagenomics-based Drug Discovery Lab (MBDD) and Women Empowerment Department (TDM) in KSU-HS. Materials are designed by the Open Science Community Saudi Arabia. It’ll be delivered by instructors and facilitators from ArabR, Carpentries in MENA and SSBCB.

Learning outcomes:

• Learn what an Integrated Developing Environment is
• Learn to work in the R console interactively
• Learn how to generate a reproducible code notebook with R Markdown
• Understand that R Markdown notebooks foster literate programming, reproducibility and open science.
• Learn how to explore a publically available dataset and manipulate, and visualise the data
• Understand the basics of git and its usage in RStudio

Prerequisites:

• Prior Knowledge of basic programming concepts is needed
• Attending the set-up session and having R/Studio/git installed

This lesson teaches modern R scripting using the tidyverse collection of packages, version control and collaboration using git and GitHub. Altogether, this provides a foundation for a more Open Science by offering practical ways of analysing data and building workflows and figures in a transparent and efficient manner.
