In the beginning, at least.
See, that’s the secret no one tells you. We all sucked when we got started.

That’s how you learn.
You can follow along with the slides here if you would like to open them full-screen. This lecture will break down the components of a ggplot2 graph and how to use it to visualize data in R.
