Learning a computer language like R can be either frustrating, fun or boring. Having fun requires challenges that wake up the learner’s curiosity but also provide an emotional reward for overcoming them. The book is designed so that it includes smaller and bigger challenges, in what I call playgrounds, in the hope that all readers will enjoy their path to R fluency. Fluency in the use of a language is a skill that is acquired through practice and exploration. For students and professionals in the biological sciences, humanities and many applied fields, recognizing the parallels between R and natural languages should help them feel at home with R. The approach I use is similar to that of a travel guide, encouraging exploration and describing the available alternatives and how to reach them. The intention is to guide the reader through the R landscape of 2024 and beyond. In R, like in most “rich” languages, there are multiple ways of coding the same operations. I have included code examples that aim to strike a balance between execution speed and readability. One could write equivalent R books using substantially different code examples. Keep this in mind when reading the book and using R. Keep also in mind that it is impossible to remember everything about R, and as a user you will frequently need to consult the documentation, even while doing the exercises in this book. The R language, in a broad sense, is vast because it can be expanded with independently developed packages. Learning to use R mainly consists of learning the basics plus developing the skill of finding your way in R, its documentation and on-line question-and-answer forums.
