This is a R crash course for anyone who previously had no or very little contact with script-based programming. It should establish the basic understanding needed for upcoming chapters.
You are an old hand in R programming and do not need this introduction? – Skip this section and go explore the RESEDA course!

In order to deepen your knowledge, in particular with a view to statistical analysis, we recommend the advanced e-learning course SOGA (Softwaregestützte Geodatenanalyse). Of course, there are lots of tutorials and relevant literature out there, which should not go unmentioned here.
