# week 9: R Bootcamp I

***4/1/2021 Thursday***

Prepare for Class (preferably in this order):

* Work through  Chapters 1-2 in Jockers' *Text Analysis with R* 
* Read Chapters 1-2 in Arnold and Tilton's *Humanities Data in R*. 
Chapter 2 gives a very concise introduction to the main data structures in R. 
Don't worry if you are not able to grasp all of it immediately, things will 
become clear during the next weeks. 

**IMPORTANT** 

**In order to learn programming in R through a book, it is not enough to only
read the text. "Working through" these chapters means you will have to execute 
all the commands described in the book in RStudio. Even if you have a digital 
copy of the book, don't copy the commands into RStudio, but type them; copying
will not teach you much.**
