In my latest post, I reflect on my year-long journey of learning R and share seven valuable lessons I have learned along the way. I highlight the beauty and support of the R community, as well as the abundance of educational resources available. I also address the gap between beginner and intermediate levels in terms of educational materials. Additionally, I delve into the differing opinions on the use of Tidyverse in R. I conclude the post with my aspirations and future goals, excited about the progress I have made thus far on this rewarding learning journey.
