That's when R programming is the way to go. The R programming language provides a comfortable environment to properly handle all types of data. And within the open source RStudio development suite, you have at your fingertips easy-to-use ways to simplify complex manipulations and create reproducible processes for analysis and reporting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith Beyond Spreadsheets with R\u003c\/i\u003e you'll learn how to go from raw data to meaningful insights using R and RStudio. Each carefully crafted chapter covers a unique way to wrangle data, from understanding individual values to interacting with complex collections of data, including data you scrape from the web.
