1.1 Workshop goals

We aim for all participants to be able to:

use the Rstudio IDE (open source edition)
know how to store and manipulate data in variables
read in data from computer files in various formats
process these with functions to generate statistical summaries
turn these into various plots using the base graphics and ggplot2 library
read in packages from various sources and know how to start using them
do these steps in workflows that scale to analyzing many many files
write all of this up as an Rmarkdown file to report your analysis and findings to collaborators
