The following video playlists were made as an introduction to R
, RStudio, and RMarkdown for STAT 420 at UIUC. If you are currently using this text for a Coursera course, you can also find updated videos there.

{target="_blank"}Note that RStudio and RMarkdown are constantly receiving excellent support and updates, so these videos may already contain some outdated information.
RStudio{target="_blank"} provides their own tutorial for RMarkdown{target="_blank"}. They also have an excellent RStudio "cheatsheet"{target="_blank"} which visually identifies many of the features available in the IDE. You may also explore some additional "cheatsheets"{target="_blank"} on their website.
