Where to learn R?
On the other hand, there is also a more traditional universe outside of the of the newer tidyverse approach. See the criticism of the tidyverse ecosystem by Prof Norm Matloff (of UC Davis). He provides a freely available introductory course in base R.
Start with fasteR, then move to Hands on Programming with R and R for Data Science. There is considerable overlap in the early chapters so don’t be afraid to skip parts. If you want to know more about the nuts and bolts of R then try Advanced R.
