I really, really like this textbook! So many good examples for a beginner like me! But I take my time comprehending and practicing, so the chapters (there are 24) are much longer than one hour! 💣

I am almost finished making my study guide for all the code and plots in chapter 14. It's on my GitHub here: https://github.com/emiliehwolf/ggplot2_examples/blob/master/readme.md 💦

Renewed my #library card today and grabbed the only R #programming book on the shelf. Pleased to see their #illustrations for performing functions on multi-dimensional arrays matches the drawings in my own notes. #datascience #visualization #coding #girlswhocode #nonfiction #atx

Reggie Lol where's the over my head emoji when u need it. Lol but thats pretty awesome. I read somewhere by 2020 America will be short by hundreds of thousands the number of people it will need to fill jobs involving coding, so good for you. 8y
geodynamical_nonfiction @Reggie That's nuts! I'm glad this path is speeding up under my feet. @minkyb 🙃 Imagining pictures from abstract code/math is challenging! It's art! 🎨 8y
