The Carpentries teach foundational coding, and data science skills to researchers worldwide. This GitHub repository generates the Software Carpentry lesson website "Introduction to R for non-programmers using inflammation data." The lesson website can be viewed here. Making changes in this GitHub repository allows us to change the content of the lesson website.

The goal of this lesson is to teach novice programmers to write modular code to perform a data analysis. R is used to teach these skills because it is a commonly used programming language in many scientific disciplines. However, the emphasis is not on teaching every aspect of R, but instead on language agnostic principles like automation with loops and encapsulation with functions (see Best Practices for Scientific Computing to learn more). This lesson is a translation of the Python version, and is also available in MATLAB.
The example used in this lesson analyzes a set of 12 data files with inflammation data collected from a trial for a new treatment for arthritis (the data was simulated). Learners are shown how it is better to create a function and apply it to each of the 12 files using a loop instead of using copy-paste to analyze the 12 files individually.
