    Fast Lane to Learning R! (by matloff)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • r4ds

    R for data science: a book

  • Those interested in R with tidyverse may find "R for Data Science" (https://r4ds.had.co.nz) to be a valuable resource.

  • db-benchmark

    reproducible benchmark of database-like ops

  • I strongly recommend data.table R. Tidyverse is an improvement on base R, no question. Data.table has less intuitive syntax and can be harder to learn, but is lightning fast and memory efficient. If you're working with more than 1M rows, you should be using data.table.

    Here are some benchmarks: https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/
