Before we start -- split into subsections / subheadings

[J-Moravec]

Hi, I enjoyed reading your blog (such as about running R code using older versions of R), so I couldn't miss your book.

After reading the fist "real" chapter, I feel it is a bit rambly and mixes several concepts in a single paragraph, and several ideas are spread around multiple paragraphs. I think that using more subheadings would improve the clarity and the organisation of the text.

I see some points that could be highlighted and their current position in the text:

• What is R (first, but also third and fourth paragraphs)
• R is not Rstudio (first and second paragraphs)
• The strengths of R (second, third, and fourth paragraphs)
• Best Practices for Paths (from fifth paragraph onwards)
• The Learning Loop (the last chunk)

The current text could be reorganised to follow said highlights, which would enhance the reading

Hi

I’ll have to see how to address this. Currently I’m not planning on re-organizing the text too much, I’m mostly only fixing typos. I’ll consider this issue for a second edition, when I’ll need to update the code in the book substantially to remain up to date.
