Question from anonymous
Hello, I'm interested in signing up for the Introduction to R class tomorrow, February 14th. I am brand new to coding, and do not have any prior knowledge on the subject. Will I still be able to take this course and benefit from it/understand the concepts being taught? Or is there a more basic introductory course that you would recommend?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
The most introductory classes are the "Introduction to..." classes and program. This workshop is right for you if you are: - Proficient in Excel up through Pivot Tables and VLookups or Index Match - Proficient with SQL, Python, SAS, SPSS, STATA or some other programming language Hope this helps!
