This post shares a downloadable PDF introduction to R from a statistics workshop, aimed at newcomers to the language. R is a free environment widely used for statistics, data analysis, and graphics.

A guided introduction like this is a good starting point before moving on to packages such as ggplot2 and dplyr for visualization and data wrangling.
