The guys from Johns Hopkins University are doing a great job since another their course reached Coursera lists of the most popular courses two years in a row. After the intro course, we already mentioned, next in the Data Science Specialization set is this one that ranks 8th in our list of most popular Coursera courses in 2016. It explains and examines the concept of R programming more closely. We are recommending it to those who have some previous programming experience, since we are talking about reading data into R, accessing R packages, writing R functions and so on. The course is available in English with Chinese subtitles.
