Pirate and R

Daniele Forni

The Pirate and R is a simple introduction to the statistical software R, specifically aimed at future data scientists.
Got to www.thelittledatascientist.co.uk for more codes to use and to stay up to date regarding future publications.

As an adult who knows absolutely nothing about R data coding, this book was really well written and laid out. It explains how the coding works with the backdrop of a pirate. So, for example, how to show what fruit the pirate has in his basket all the way to working out how much treasure the pirate has in his chest. It was really well depicted as well and I feel like this is a book that is a brilliant starting point for children to start coding themselves. It is a really simple introduction and I would definitely be interested in reading further books like this one!
