Getting Started: R and Python
Before diving into the modules we want to give you a quick overview of the similarities and differences between R and Python. The basic layout of each programming interface is shown below. R Studio and Python's Spyder are very similar. The iPython Notebook which is most commonly used by avid Python users is run through your internet browser which can be accessed by typing iPython Notebook in the command line of your terminal. Jupyter (iPython Notebook) can be used to run Python or R through an internet browser.
R Studio
Spyder
Jupyter (iPython Notebook)
People like the notebook option because it can easily be shared with others online.
This link has a great introduction to Jupyter.
The links at the bottom of the page take you to some of the websites that we have found to be helpful in researching the basics for both languages R and Python. If you have any questions while working through the modules this would be a great place to start looking for answers.
