Announcing: Mastering RStudio

Learn the holistic use of RStudio to communicate your R code effectively and persuasively.

Max (@nierhoff) and I are both absolute R enthusiasts. We both strongly believe in the power of R for statistical computing. And we are both also fascinated by the nearly endless possibilities of the R programming language enabling users to build robust code for complex data analyses, create all kinds of stunning graphs, even complete web applications and more.

If you have ever worked with R you will probably have heard of RStudio and its incredible user interface for R.

RStudio helps you to manage small to large projects by giving you a multi-functional integrated development environment. Combined with the power and flexibility of the R programming language, which is becoming the lingua franca of data science for developers and analyst worldwide, mastering the use of RStudio will help you to solve real-world data problems.

And so we decided to put this experience into our new book: Mastering RStudio.

Who is this book for?

The book is for people who already know the basics principles of the R programming language and want to learn how to communicate data analysis results effectively and persuasively with the latest web-based tool.

In the book we will cover how you can build interactive web applications with the Shiny framework to present and share your results and also we will make you understand the process of package development and enable you to assemble your own R packages.

Whether you are a beginner or an expert in using R, this books helps you to speed up your daily work by mastering RStudio. Anyone trying to answer simple or complex data questions will get a working demonstration of the power of the tools needed to solve real-world data problems. You will learn how to collaborate and share your results by using Git systems and interactive output formats or apps.

Mastering RStudio will be released in October 2015 and if we could convince you, you can pre-order your copy of the book today: Mastering RStudio: Develop, Communicate and Collaborate with R
