Chapter 3 Intro to R Part I

3.1 Getting to know your IDE

What’s an ? IDE stands for Integrated development Environment, and its goal is to facilitate coding by integrating a text editor, a console and other tools into one window.

We are using RStudio as our IDE for this workshop. You can either download and install R and RStudio on your computer (for instructions on how to do so, see the “Before we start” section) or create a free account at http://rstudio.cloud and run your R code in the cloud.

In this part of the workshop we will start an R project and situating ourselves around our IDE.
