History
R is an implementation of the S programming language.
S was created by John Chambers while at Bell Labs.
R was created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at the
University of Auckland, New Zealand.
It is currently developed by the R Development Core Team, of
which Chambers is a member.
R is named partly after the first names of the first two R
authors and partly as a play on the name of S.
Statistical Programming Language
Introduction

Comprehensive R Archive Network: http://cran.r-
project.org
By running the source codes and executables Rstudio can be
installed.

Comparison with other languages
Future Scope
Jobs in R Careers are not only being offered by IT companies
but all types of companies are hiring High paid R candidates
including-

Job Roles using R
R data scientist
Data scientist(IT)
Analyst manager
Senior data analyst
Business analyst
Analyst consultant
Companies using R: Facebook, Twitter, Goggle, Microsoft,
LinkedIn .
Advantages of R
Free open source philosophy.
R has over 4800 packages available from multiple repositories
specializing in topics like econometrics, data mining, spatial
analysis, and bio-informatics.
Online help and discussion.
R visualization capabilities .
Interface with other languages and scripting capabilities
Disadvantages of R
R has a steep learning curve it does take a while to get used to
the power of R but no steeper than for other statistical
languages. R is not so easy to use for the novice.
No default parallel execution.
Top skills needed for high performance computing.
Conclusion
R is free and open-source, making it possible for anyone to
have access to world-class statistical analysis tools. It is used
widely in academia and the private sector and is the most
popular statistical analysis programming language today.
Learning R isn’t easy — if it was, data scientists wouldn’t be
in such high demand. However, there is no shortage of quality
resources you can use to learn R if you’re willing to put in the
time and effort
Thank you
