Listen, I’ve been coding in R since 2013.
I’ve published 10 R packages now.
The top 3 combine for over 2,500,000 downloads and are used at every major company that uses R.

Case in point!
I was building a Shiny App for my 2018 R/Finance presentation.
(I’d been coding in R for over 5 years & by this point I was pretty solid).

I was sitting in a Starbucks in Chicago, 1000 miles away from my home, dutifully working on my presentation that I was giving the next day.
I updated my R software and BAM!
My app stops working.

So my point here is don’t update R.
Just kidding.

My real point is that we all run into problems, and this process can take YEARS to get good.
I’m with ya.
I put in the painful YEARS of learning data science the wrong way.
So You Don’t Have To.
In fact, I made a free webinar that will help.
