R for Data Science by Hadley Wickham

Ideal for current and aspiring data scientists, this book introduces you to doing data science with R and RStudio, as well as the tidyverse-a collection of R packages designed to work together to make data science fast, fluent, and fun. Even if you have no programming experience, this updated edition will have you doing data science quickly.

Garrett Grolemund works at RStudio as a statistician, teacher, and R developer. Data analysis, he believes, is a largely untapped source of value for both industry and science. Garrett earned his Ph.D. at Hadley Wickham's lab at Rice University, where his research traced the roots of data analysis as a cognitive process and identified how attentional and epistemological concerns influence all data analysis. Garrett is passionate about assisting others in avoiding the frustration and unneeded learning he had when mastering data analysis. He began offering business training in R and data analysis for Revolutions Analytics even before completing his PhD. He's taught at Google, eBay, Axciom, and a number of other firms, and he's presently working on a RStudio training curriculum to make useful knowledge even more accessible.

Garrett spends his time outside of the classroom conducting clinical trials research, legal research, and financial analysis. He also creates R software; he co-wrote the lubridate R package (which provides methods for parsing, manipulating, and doing arithmetic with date-times) and the ggsubplot package (which extends the ggplot2 package).
