Chapter 1 Getting Started with Data in R

Before we can start exploring data in R, there are some key concepts to understand first:

What are R and RStudio?
How do I code in R?
What are R packages?

We’ll introduce these concepts in the upcoming What are R and RStudio?–What are R packages?. If you are already somewhat familiar with these concepts, feel free to skip to Section 1.4 where we’ll introduce our first dataset: all domestic flights departing one of the three main New York City (NYC) airports in 2023. We will explore this dataset in depth for much of the rest of this book.
