This repo forms the background for a beginner-level workshop focused on teaching how to analyse and plot data with R. The ideas and codes in the main script - r_begin_workshop.qmd - borrow heavily from a number of sources.

The first, code-focused Sections give a quick overview on how to create plots with R’s ggplot suite of visualisation tools - Section 6 -, how to carry out simple aggregations and create your own functions - Section 7 -. Section 8 and 9 introduce new concepts such as joins and loops, and gently encourage the user to experiment writing more complex pieces of codes.
