# Welcome {.unnumbered}

This is the website for the work-in-progress 2nd edition of **"R for Data Science"**.
|
|
This book will teach you how to do data science with R: You'll learn how to get your data into R, get it into the most useful structure, transform it, visualise it and model it.
|
|
<!--# TO DO: Should "model it" stay here? Omitted? Mentioned with an explanation as to where to go for modeling? --> In this book, you will find a practicum of skills for data science.
|
|
Just as a chemist learns how to clean test tubes and stock a lab, you'll learn how to clean data and draw plots---and many other things besides.
|
|
These are the skills that allow data science to happen, and here you will find the best practices for doing each of these things with R.
|
|
You'll learn how to use the grammar of graphics, literate programming, and reproducible research to save time.
|
|
You'll also learn how to manage cognitive resources to facilitate discoveries when wrangling, visualising, and exploring data.
