🔖 Week 01 - Appendix

DS105 - Data for Data Science

💻 Labs

We do not have classes this week. Instead, we recommend you use this time to learn or revisit the basics of a programming language (either R or Python).

See sections below for advice on how to do that.

📒 Preparing for the next week

• Join the Slack group of this course (more info)
• Use this time to learn or revisit basic programming skills. Remember: later in this course, you will start working on a group project that will require some element of coding. You are free to use either R or Python.
