๐Ÿ” ggplot2 [un]charted


๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi!

I know, itโ€™s not Saturday today ๐Ÿ™ˆ.
โ€‹
But this week is special to me because Iโ€™m launching my latest project!!

Can I tell you the story?

โ€‹

I love R

About 13 years ago, I finished my master's degree in genetics and started working as a bioinformatician. I discovered the joy of data analysis and fell in love with the final step: building great charts.

To document what I learned, I created the R Graph Gallery, a collection of chart examples with code and explanations.
โ€‹
Examples are sorted by chart types. There are hundreds of them, and you don't want to know how long I spent making them!

Maybe youโ€™ve used it before, like thousands of others every month ๐Ÿ˜ณ.

โ€‹

R + Dataviz = โค๏ธ

I never stopped my quest for great graphs, and ggplot2 has been a huge part of that journey.
โ€‹
It has inspired so much creativity, and over the years, Iโ€™ve continued to collect the best examples for the gallery.
โ€‹
What you can do with R is just incredible.

Among the many talented creators, Cรฉdric Schererโ€™s work stands out. Heโ€™s prolific, detail-oriented, and always pushing the boundaries of what ggplot2 can do.

So I caught a train

Last month, I traveled to Berlin to meet him in person.

We quickly decided to collaborate on a new project: ggplot2 [un]charted.
โ€‹

โ€‹

It's an online course that distills everything we know about creating stunning data visualizations in R.
โ€‹
Itโ€™s designed to be straight to the point, maximizing your learning efficiency.

โ€‹

๐Ÿ”ฅ Itโ€™s live!

Weโ€™re currently in the pre-launch week, which means you can join at the lowest price until Sunday evening.

After that, weโ€™ll release the lessons progressively, about one or two per week.

Enrolling gives you lifetime access, a spot in a private Discord for feedback about your graphs, and a full refund if youโ€™re not satisfied โ€” no questions asked.

If you want to learn how to make great graphs with R, join us before Sunday!

PS: My usual dataviz newsletter will go out next Saturday, followed by a final course reminder on Sunday. Then no more promo emails, I promise!

PPS: Iโ€™ve poured countless hours into my open-source projects and this ad-free newsletter. Selling courses is what makes it all possible, so thanks for understanding!
