Book Review: The Big Book of R
Welcome to #FunDataFriday for The Big Book of R
A 3 minute read about a cool data resource.
Today’s #FunDataFriday article is about the free online book “The Big Book of R”.
What Is It?
The big book of R is an open-source web page created by #rstats community member Oscar Baruffa. The page functions as an easy to navigate, one-stop-shop for available books on the R programming language.
Why Is It Awesome?
It’s awesome because it’s so easy to browse for new content on our beloved R. Oscar jumpstarted the website with over 100 books and since the launch, there has been an ongoing stream of contributions from the open-source community.
Best of all, most of the books are either free or very low cost.
How To Get Started?
It’s very simple, go to the website and start browsing for new R content! If you have a favorite book that you don’t see listed, please contribute your content by submitting a pull request or issue into the GitHub repo.
