<p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://i2.wp.com/r-exercises.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/eye-15699__180.jpg?resize=120%2C180"><img alt="eye-15699__180" class="wp-image-1445" src="https://i2.wp.com/r-exercises.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/eye-15699__180.jpg?resize=120%2C180" data-recalc-dims="1"></a>A few months ago we launched <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://r-exercises.com/r-courses/"><em>R course finder</em></a>, an online directory that helps you to find the right R course quickly. With so many R courses available online, we thought it was a good idea to offer a tool that helps people to compare these courses, before they decide where to spend their valuable time and (sometimes) money.</p>
<p>If you haven’t looked at it yet, go to the R Course Finder now by clicking <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://r-exercises.com/r-courses/"><strong>here</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Last month we added 22 courses to the Course Finder. Currently we are at <strong>140</strong> courses on <strong>14</strong> different online platforms, and 2 offline Learning Institutes.</p>
<p>This month we added two new platforms:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://r-exercises.com/r-courses/?filter_platform=datasociety">DataSociety</a></strong></li>
<li><strong><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://r-exercises.com/r-courses/?filter_platform=springboard">SpringBoard</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Other then adding these platforms we also kept expanding the content on platforms already available in the Course Finder. There were some new courses added this month we we’re excited about and wanted to highlight:</p>
<h3>Highlighted Courses</h3>
<p><strong><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://r-exercises.com/product/strategic-business-analytics/">Foundation of Strategic Business Analytics</a></strong><br>
This course offered by Coursera is part of the ‘Strategic Business Analytics’ specialization. Business analytics is one of the hottest places to work in these days and this course, together with the entire specialization, lays out in great detail the skills you need to enter this field. It also raises the question when we are going to merge business analytics and Data Science into one, Data analytics anyone?</p>
<p><strong><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://r-exercises.com/product/regression-machine-learning-with-r/">Regression Machine Learning with R</a></strong><br>
This is an Udemy course that seems to me (and I’ve been working on this database for a while), is one of the most complete courses on Machine Learning so far available. It also has a good pace that connects to those of us who have a solid statistical background and know how to work with R, but want to focus on this concept in more detail.</p>
