Workshop R by Peter van Horssen - GreenStat

During this workshop we will learn about R and how to make geo spatial analysis with R. We will use some Dutch open Geo Data, a Leaflet plug-in to make maps and the powerful ggplot library for visualizations.

The main language of instruction will be Dutch! Materials in English - Data in Dutch.

• What to bring
Bring your laptop and have latest version of R installed plus the following libraries:
R https://www.r-project.org/
sf https://r-spatial.github.io/sf/
tidyverse https://www.tidyverse.org/packages/
ggplot2
dplyr
mapview

Prepare the workshop by having a look at our github repro: https://github.com/Maptime030/R_workshop
Here you can download the materials (data) beforehand and have a look at what we will do.

• Important to know
Completely new to R? This workshop requires some general knowledge about programming or R. We also assume you have a basic knowledge of geo spatial data.

To get you started on some basic programming skills in R have a look at some of the R introductions. You do need some knowledge of variables, data types and data-frames to make the most out of this workshop!
