Learn the basics of R and how to write your own R scripts. You will also learn the basics of using the Knitr package to write reports, webpages, and take notes using R.

ggplot2: One graphics package to rule them all! The package ggplot2 gives a framework to produce elegant, high-end graphical displays following the technical framework of the Grammar of Graphics (Wilkinson 2000). We will use a lot of data examples to work through the basic plots as well as more advanced tools, such as facetting, colors, shapes and more.
Maps, time series charts and some dynamic graphics? - ggplot2 can help you with that!
