Advanced R, Second Edition

"The development of progressive data analysis tools that are technically excellent creates a superior opportunity for us as data science users. The concepts of this book can enhance the overall user experience and increase the likelihood that the developed tools become preferred tools accomplishing the desired purpose. Learning from Wickham's vast experience in R coding improves tools that provide targeted users the ability to be more efficient, clearer R analysis code writers, better debuggers of their own syntax errors, and positioned to enjoy faster performance time. These are many of the advantages I have enjoyed using tidyverse developed by Wickham with the "Advanced R" philosophy." ~Technometrics
