Sada Girennawar, Sada,Principal Programmer Analyst, Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sunil has created a unique R course, R-Guru, which is perfect for clinical SAS programmers who are planning to transition to R. In this course, one will learn all most all the required packages ranging from reading source data from different formats, cleaning data, and developing SDTM/ADaM's and TLF's. The best part about this course is that Sunil makes himself available to answer any questions during and after the course as and when support is needed. So, if you are interested in learning R then I recommend you R-Guru. I attended this course and learned a lot from Sunil. This course is kind of a mini semester.
Enesh Vashisht, Statistical Programmer
I'm thrilled to announce that I've successfully completed the R programming language certification under the expert guidance of the amazing mentor, Sunil Gupta, at R Guru. Throughout this journey, I've dived deep into the world of clinical data analysis and manipulation, learning how to create SDTM, ADAM, and TFLs using various R packages. I've honed my skills in a range of essential R packages including Pharmaverse, dplyr, Tidyverse, haven, Hmisc, lubridate, tidyr, gtable, and gtsummary.
Importing and exporting data using packages like readxl and writexl. A huge shoutout to Sunil Gupta for his exceptional mentorship, guidance, and wealth of knowledge. His passion for R programming is infectious, and I'm grateful for the invaluable insights I've gained through this certification. Here's to embracing continuous learning and growth in the world of data analysis! Looking forward to applying my newly acquired skills to drive meaningful insights and innovations.

If you want to learn R smoothly, then R-Guru has the course to attend. Sunil Gupta is an absolute expert on his field and gives an approach what to learn and also what not to learn in a structured way.
Sandeep Mallepally, Senior Statistical Programmer II, Vita Data Sciences
Thank you for guiding us throughout the course. The content and explanations were clear, improving my confidence in writing and reading R programs.
Dharmendra Tirumalasetti, Associate Director of Statistical Programming, Wave Life Sciences
One of the best trainings on R for SAS programmers and the cheat sheets are amazingly helpful. The R-Guru website is such a great place to look for any help on R programming with lots of information and examples.
Mark McLaughlin, Senior Director, Statistical Computing, Wave Life Sciences
Thanks Sunil! I’m happy to provide feedback on the class, as I’ve found it extremely helpful even after having started it halfway through. I’ve taken online R classes before but none of them have been geared towards SAS programmers nor towards those who work in the biotech/pharm industry. This is the first R course I’ve taken where concepts which are second nature to an R programmer made sense to my SAS brain. Your ability from the start to translate the things that we do every day in SAS to how they’re done in R made each subsequent lesson that much easier to manage. I’m looking forward to eventually seeing how we can incorporate R into our work beyond just generating really nice figures.
Sylvia Moleboheng, Senior Statistical Programmer, MMS
I am enjoying the class. I am learning a lot and I thought it was going to take me long to grasp some concepts but funny enough that's not the case. There's still a lot of concepts to fork through, but I like that I have some that I find easier to get, while others I will get with time.
Qian Yi Tan, High School Senior
I enjoyed the R class. I liked that I was able to pace myself and learn through application of sample code. I did learn to program better with the R class. Compared to my previous R class, this program was much more extensive. Your class was structured in a way that covered the different steps of coding for the Pharma industry such as learning basic data management operations, then creating SDTMs and ADAMs, and then creating graphs and tables based on those data frames. The website was organized very well with external links that to further explain the concept when I was confused.
Madhusudhan, Analyst Statistical Programmer, Alcon
Have you been searching for a comprehensive and user-friendly platform to master the art of R programming? Look no further than R Guru, the most impressive website for beginners and seasoned R enthusiasts alike.
The website's design and content sections are truly remarkable. The information is presented in a way that is both informative and easy to navigate, making it the perfect one-stop-shop for all your R learning needs. No more scouring the internet for scattered resources - R Guru has it all!
This was my first time attending a workshop related to R Shiny development apps, and I have to say, it was an incredibly informative and enjoyable experience. The workshop was well-structured and the concepts were explained in a clear, easy-to-understand manner. The few slides were self-explanatory, which helped reinforce the key points.
I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in learning more about R Shiny apps.
Roxana Ivanov, Principal Statistical Programmer & Owner, IVV CONSULTING SRL
This was my first workshop with R Shiny Apps and I am really impressed. Definitely, I will continue my development in this direction as I am keen to use my programming skills further. It was a good balance between theory and practice. I particularly appreciated the in-depth explanation of reactive programming, which I found very enlightening.
The workshop met my expectations and provided valuable practical skills, so many thanks!
Andrew Bai, Associated Director, Statistical Programming, Iovance Biotherapeutics
I created a R Shiny App to do some power calculation. I have presented it to my team and they are really impressed. Thank you for introducing R Shiny to me and I have learned a great deal from this class.
Lavanya Grandhi, Stat Programmer II at Sarah Cannon
I found the R Shiny workshop extremely valuable and would like to review the slides to reinforce my understanding and follow up on some of the points discussed.
Clio Wu, Senior Director, Statistical Programming, Chinook Therapeutics, a Novartis Company

Varalakshmi Pokala, Manager, Statistical Programming
Thanks, Sunil, for offering such wonderful training on R for SAS programmers. R-Guru.com has a lot of information and examples in one place and cheat sheets are very helpful. I feel like I learned a lot in just 5 classes. Looking forward to learning more in the coming classes.
Regarding the R-Guru, I feel like it's an ocean with valuable resources, thank you so much for the R-Guru.com. The pace of the current class is very good and the content is well structured, I have never seen these many examples in any classes. I am looking forward to more advanced hands-on classes which include statistics and CDISC standards.
Mathura Ramanathan, Statistical Programming & CDISC Standards Consultant
R-Guru.com is a wealth of treasures and information for anyone who is motivated to get ready for R.
Mubasiru Lamidi, Statistical Programmer II, AstraZeneca
The course has been very amazing ad interesting to me. I have learnt quite a lot and watching the videos.
Alexander Ward, UCSD R-Guru Student
Thank you for a great class; it has been very helpful learning how R can be used to replicate SAS codes in an efficient manner. I'll definitely keep practicing R since it has a lot of applications, as well as a lot of crucial differences (e.g. the case sensitivity, use of "==", etc.) with SAS. These skills will definitely help me in a future R-based position!
Saurabi Sakthivel, UCSD R-Guru Student
This course was extremely helpful in understanding the rising use of R in pharmaverse, it managed to start from the basics and progress to the advanced topics key for clinical trials. Although the pace was slightly fast, I believe that the resources on the website were a helpful guide.
Sai Sudha Medabalimi, Research Programmer analyst, Marshfield clinic research Institute
Thank you for guiding me through this process of learning a new language. I really enjoyed learning R and your method of teaching.
