I completed David Langer's course, R Programming Made Easy.
As a decision support analyst, I have a burning desire to solve more problems and not let the data scientists have all the fun.
My first step on that path is familiarizing myself with one of the primary languages used in data science, R.
Dave's enthusiasm for data digging and problem-solving shine through in the videos.When I ran one section of code and looked at the results, I shouted, 'Whoa!' because of the implications.
So if you want to quickly get up to speed on the basics of R, I recommend Dave's 'R Programming Made Easy'.
I will definitely be signing up for his future offerings.

After completing several Dave on Data classes, I share with you this short review.
Dave is a storyteller, his instructions and explanations are very clear, so important when it comes to teaching data analytics.
Dave makes excellent use of analogy methods to illustrate lessons purpose and compare concepts present in the study cases.
Dave is available in case of questions, and Dave's answers will encourage you to push another door and keep on learning & practising.
As a student, I became more confident using R code. My skills improved, although I am not a Senior Programer or Business Intelligence Analyst.
