R Programming Hands-on Specialization for Data Science (Lv1)

R is considered as lingua franca of Data Science. Candidates with expertise in R programming language are in exceedingly high demand and paid lucratively in Data Science. IEEE has repeatedly ranked R as one of the top and most popular Programming Languages. Almost every Data Science and Machine Learning job posted globally mentions the requirement for R language proficiency. All the top ranked universities like MIT have included R in their respective Data Science courses curriculum.

With its growing community of users in Open Source space, R allows you to productively work on complex Data Analysis and Data Science projects to acquire, transform/cleanse, analyse, model and visualise data to support informed decision making. But there’s one catch: R has quite a steep learning curve!

How’s this course different from so many other courses?

Many of the available training courses on R programming don’t cover it its entirety. To be proficient in R for Data Science requires thorough understanding of R programming constructs, data structures and none of the available courses cover them with the comprehensiveness and depth that each topic deserves. Many courses dive straight into Machine Learning algorithms and advanced stuff without thoroughly comprehending the R programming constructs. Such approaches to teach R have a lot of drawbacks and that’s where many Data Scientists struggle with in their professional careers.

Also, the real value in learning R lies in learning from professionals who are experienced, proficient and are still working in Industry on huge projects; a trait which is missing in 90% of the training courses available on Udemy and other platforms.
