From the course: Creating Maps with R
Base knowledge
- [Instructor] This course is focused on making maps with R. We therefore assume a basic level of comfort with the R language and how to run R code in Rstudio. This includes confidence in understanding what an assignment is and how to use functions. You should be able to understand what this code does and what output to expect. In addition to the basics of R, we assume you have a basic familiarity with the Tidyverse. Specifically, we'll use the read_csv and read_excel functions for reading data into Rstudio. We'll also be using the dplyr package for wrangling data. You should be comfortable with functions like filter, groupd-by, and mutate. If you're not familiar with these functions, you can still use this course to understand the process of making maps with R, but I recommend you can sort for dedicated Tidyverse course in the library if you've never used the Tidyverse before. There's one last thing. We implicitly assume you're comfortable with the pipe operator, this percentage, right angle bracket, percentage thing. If you're not, then please do refer to the pipe introduction in our course catalog. Now that we've covered what you need to get going, it's time to dive right into the course.
