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.

I was R training certified on Coursera and yet I struggled with R concepts and syntax. Sunil made R very easy to understand from biometrics standpoint! His exercises on R guru tailored for our clinical research domain makes it easy and fast to learn. After attending several of his sessions, am now convinced that our organization can start using R as a language with help from R-Guru ‘s in depth & easy to use material! Thank you, Sunil, for all the hard work!

Sunil is a great instructor, flexible and engaging. Practical R for SAS programmers is well structured with hands on weekly exercises making the content useful for SAS programmers in the clinical world. R-Guru access is a plus with loads of information and examples and the cheat sheets are helpful too. Bluebird bio Statistical programming team, Biostatistics team and clinical programming teams had great introduction to R in pharma/Bio-tech industry through this Training.

Thank you for a very useful and engaging R for SAS Programmers: SQL workshop. I especially appreciated the side-by-side comparisons between SAS and R code—they were very insightful and made it much easier to understand the nuances and translate concepts between the two languages. The practical examples and clear explanations helped reinforce the learning.

The R shiny workshop was well-structured, informative, and engaging. It provided valuable insights and practical knowledge that can be applied in real-world scenarios. The concepts covered in the session will be highly beneficial to the Team. Once they begin working with Shiny, the foundational understanding gained here will support effective implementation. Further, the session met their expectations, and no additional topics need to be covered at this time. The content was relevant and aligned well with their current level of understanding.
Dharmendra Tirumalasetti, Associate Director, 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.

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.

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.

Enrolling in Sunil Gupta's R for SAS programming classes has been an incredibly enriching experience that has facilitated a seamless transition from SAS to R. Sunil's teaching methodology is exceptional, as he effortlessly simplifies complex concepts, making them accessible and understandable. As a seasoned SAS programmer, I was amazed at how Sunil's course catered specifically to my background, aiding me in grasping R's intricacies more effectively.
Through his course, I not only acquired the skills to manage data proficiently but also gained the expertise to program SDTMs, ADaMs, and TFLs in R. Sunil's approach focused on highlighting the similarities and differences between SAS and R, making the learning process both insightful and efficient. This bridge he built between the two languages allowed me to leverage my existing SAS knowledge to easily comprehend and apply R concepts.
What sets Sunil apart is his adeptness at structuring the course to cater to SAS programmers, ensuring a smooth transition to R. His emphasis on using various packages not only expanded my programming toolkit but also provided practical insights into real-world applications. This hands-on approach, along with his patient guidance, truly accelerated my learning curve.
I am genuinely grateful for Sunil's dedication to imparting practical knowledge and empowering SAS programmers like myself to confidently embrace R. The skills I've acquired through his course have not only enriched my professional capabilities but have also broadened my horizons in the world of programming. I wholeheartedly recommend Sunil Gupta's classes to anyone seeking to expand their programming skills, navigate the SAS to R transition, and embark on a journey of continuous growth in this dynamic field.
