Free Virtual R Programming Course: Coding For Bright Future Initiative

We are delighted to officially announce thelunch of the new initiative „Coding for a Bright Future“. This initiative is the first of it’s kind in our DAAD Alumni and friends Ruhr group.

The main idea of the initiative is to offer on a regular basis several programming courses that are free and virtual to DAAD scholars and alumni throughout Germany. Each programming course will be compiled and taught by an expert. These programming courses will be great for beginners. Each course will start with the fundamental programming language concepts before digging deeper into the more advanced topics.

Structure:

Each programming course will be based upon three to five Lectures of approx. 4 hours each. More lectures could be offered based on the interest of the lecturer and participants!

First Course:

R Programming Course

Duration:

20 hours.

First Lecture:

When? Friday, August 20th, 3-7pm  (save the date!)

R programming language:

The R programming language is one of the most widely used data analysis and machine learning programming languages. It is an open source and free programming language.  It is also one of the greatest programming languages for statistical computing, graphical data modeling, and time-series analysis. R’s built-in libraries make it easy to create complex Machine Learning algorithms. It also offers a lot of specialized techniques and capabilities to developers.

Schedule:

  1. First Lecture: Friday, August 20th, 3-7pm
  2. Second Lecture: Sunday, August 22nd, 3-7pm
