This is an introduction to R. I promise this will be fun. Since you have never used a programming language before, or any language for that matter, you won’t be tainted by other programming languages with different ways of doing things. This is good - we can teach you the R way of doing things.
A break from programming languages
This is a blog post I have been considering writing for a long time.

Content – Michael Clark
Here you’ll find documents of varying technical degree covering things of interest to me, or which I think will be interesting to those I engage with. Generally you’ll find a mix of demonstrations on statistical and machine learning topics, programming, and data processing and visualization. Most focus on application in R as that’s what I used to primarily program with, but you’ll find plenty of Python demonstrations as well. Be aware that some of the content is a bit dated, but even if the programming aspects are a bit off, the concepts should still be relevant.

Today, I’ll share some programming courses with you which help you to learn basic coding if it’s required by your work.
Learnable Programming
Here's a trick question: How do we get people to understand programming?
The Next 7000 Programming Languages
Landin’s seminal paper “The next 700 programming languages” considered programming languages prior to 1966 and speculated on the next 700. Half-a-century on, we cast programming languages in a Darwinian ‘tree of life’ and explore languages, their features (genes) and language evolution from the viewpoint of ‘survival of the fittest’.
