This is top-shelf training. I wrote the book 'Making Data Sexy' but have struggled to make R data sexy. This tutorial armed me with the tools I need and put a fire under me to explore ggplot2's lesser-used arguments. Thank you.

I didn't know or cared enough to find out about fonts, but now that I do know, seems pretty cool

This is a perfectly-paced tutorial. Great work.
One comment: whenever you say a command out loud ('install dot packages with package name in quotes'), just type it. It's both faster and easier to understand for any command, basic or advanced.

Wow! I'm consider myself a newbie/intermediate skill with tidyverse, and I still find it incredible how easy you can make ggplots gorgeous. I guess this is my lack of coding experience, but I'm here to learn! Looking forward for more content, you got a subscriber!

Great video, really like your presenting style! I'm just starting out in my data career and I've found getting R charts to look less generic quite a challenge. This was a huge help :)

Im currently going through the Coursera JHU Data Science Specialization and your videos are just what I needed to really understand some topics that were left lingering. Amazing job!

This vid is on point, keep posting and we will be eternally grateful.

I must confess that your videos are the most appealing and focus learning on R for me. Very concise, straight to point and interesting. please can you provide a link which has all your videos in one place so that i can follow chronologically. This is really what I need to become a pro in R. Thank you for your work.

I didn't know about the font, thanks! Great video, very clear and easy to follow.
