This book aims to make stats approachable by combining clear explanations with practical applications. Joseph Schmuller shows how to download and use R and RStudio - two free, open-source tools - to learn statistics concepts, create graphs, test hypotheses, and draw meaningful conclusions. The book starts with the basics of statistics and R, and goes on to show how to calculate descriptive statistics, and use inferential statistics to test hypotheses. Then, visualize it all with graphs and charts.

In this guide Robert Henning systematically addresses challenges such as getting to grips with how nodes and scenes work while learning a new interface along with GDScript. Henning starts with nodes and scenes, Godot’s way of organizing everything, then explores both 2D and 3D game creation, adding key elements such as players, enemies, collectibles, and lighting effects that make games pop visually. Later chapters get hands-on with Godot’s scripting language, GDScript, to bring game ideas to life.
