Description

Adds an edX course from IBM on R programming for beginners.

Why is this valuable (or not)?

Covers fundamentals of the language and good for beginners especially. Provides detailed videos and notes.

How do we know it's really free?

All edX courses are free. NOTE ** Although it says "course starts on x date, ends on x date," this isn't actually a time-bound course. They put the 6 month timeline from the current day to put a sense of dull urgency on the material. The material itself doesn't become unavailable after that time period. In other words, the course "begins" whenever you want, and ends whenever you want.

For book lists, is it a book? For course lists, is it a course? etc.

Sorry! Made a mistake on the main branch and that carried over on the rest of them. Let me fix that.
