But as you start to write your own functions, and dig deeper into R, you need to learn about vectors, the objects that underlie tibbles. If you've learned R in a more traditional way, you're probably already familiar with vectors, as most R resources start with vectors and work their way up to tibbles. I think it's better to start with tibbles because they're immediately useful, and then work your way down to the underlying components. -Vectors are particularly important as most of the functions you will write will work with vectors. It is possible to write functions that work with tibbles (like ggplot2, dplyr, and tidyr), but the tools you need to write such functions are currently idiosyncratic and immature. I am working on a better approach, , but it will not be ready in time for the publication of the book. Even when complete, you'll still need you understand vectors, it'll just make it easier to write a user-friendly layer on top. +Vectors are particularly important as most of the functions you will write will work with vectors.
