A journey through the Tidyverse
An introduction to the philosophy of tidy data and the collection of R packages called Tidyverse that help to treat your data appropriately. Including lots of demos from ingesting to cleaning to visualizing your data.
By now, all the data pro world should have heard about the R language, especially since Microsoft is committed to integrate it into their data platform products. So you installed the R base system and the IDE of your choice. But it's like buying a new car - nobody is content with the standard. You know there are packages to get you started with analysis and visualization, but which ones?
A bundle called The Tidyverse comes in handy, consisting of a philosophy of tidy data and some packages mostly (co-)authored by Hadley Wickham, one of the brightest minds in the R ecosystem. We will take a look at the most popular Tidyverse ingredients like tidyr, ggplot2, dplyr and readr, and we'll have lots of code demos on real world examples.
