Harsh Krishna introduces you to R & RStudio and shows how they can be used with football event data.

In this will be an interactive, follow-along session, Harsh covers:

- Introduction to R and R Studio: What are R and RStudio? What are they used for? How can they be useful in a football context?
- Writing R code in RStudio: Starting from the basics of writing R code (defining variables, different data types, creating functions, if:else statements) all the way through to using functions for data manipulation and plotting.
- Creating event data visualisations: Creating visualisations using football event data. Creating a dashboard consisting of a pass map, shot map, heat map and convex hull.
- Automating visualisations: Creating a custom function to automate the dashboard.
- Understanding web apps with RShiny: RShiny is an R package that allows you to build interactive web apps through R. Harsh will explain what an RShiny app is, how it works and how it can be used to effectively present your work to colleagues who don't have a data background.
