Description:

You can't use R for data analysis unless you can get your data into R. Getting your data into R can be a major hassle, so in the last few months Hadley has been working hard to make it easier.

In this webinar Hadley will discuss the places you most often find data (databases, excel, text files, other statistical packages, web apis, and web pages) and the packages (DBI, xml2, jsonlite, haven, readr, exel) that make it easy to get your data into R.

Getting your data into R webinar registration:
