It provides a structured curriculum for learning R programming and data science through a series of guided, self-paced exercises delivered via a command-line interface. The content covers a broad range of data science education, including language fundamentals, data cleaning and manipulation, statistical analysis, and data visualization. It also includes instructional modules focused on software development practices. These lessons are developed as a modular hierarchy of courses and prompts, which are bundled into R packages for distribution. Course materials are hosted in remote repositories to allow users to download and install the educational modules directly into their own environment. ## Tags ### Education & Learning Resources - [Interactive Coding Courses](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/education-learning-resources/interactive-coding-courses.md) — Offers interactive coding courses that use automated feedback to guide learners through R and data science.
