[clug] Learning 'R'. Any courses in Canberra? Other resources?

[Tessa Jensen]

Coursera runs a decent course on R (next one starting in September)
https://www.coursera.org/course/compdata

However if you don't want to wait that long - the course videos are already
available as listed here:

Good luck,
