Obi-Wan's secret weapon is the force.

Mine is the #tidyverse.

True story. 🧵

#rstats

It was 2014, and I was having a really tough time learning data science.

I was working on a project for work. Just sitting there staring at my computer...

Hoping the code would write itself.

I took a break to check my email.

Hadley Wickham, the biggest name in data science had introduced this new R package called "dplyr".

What's this? I took a look...

data %>%
group_by(player_id) %>%
summarize(total = sum(games_played))

Holy crap! I can actually read this!!

And, it looks good.

Just maybe this can help with my report.

Fast forward 7 years. (No, it didn't take me that long to make my report)

This dplyr package became part of a family of R packages called the "tidyverse".

And, I'm proud to say that to this day, learning the tidyverse helped me become really good at data science...

the very thing I used to struggle with.

My point is that we all run into problems like dealing with bad data, and the process can take years to get good.

And, if you would like help. Then I would like to help you.

I put in the painful years of learning data science the wrong way. So you don't have too.

And, I made a free webinar that will help.

It is 40-minutes of free training on the 10 secrets that took me 5-years to learn on my path to becoming a data scientist.

Literally what worked, and what mistakes to avoid in your path.

I cover all of it in one value-packed training.

Enjoy!
