R for Data Science: Import, Tidy, Transform, Visualize, and Model Data

The title does a good bit of my job for me, this book is all about teaching you what you need to know to start doing data science. The authors offer expert-level instruction on how to handle data through the data pipeline, from loading it into your environment to deciding if the data should be modeled with a straight line or parabola. The authors also discuss more advanced topics that give valuable insight into how the R language works, for example, I learned that you can actually change how addition works in R (although it is made clear this is generally a bad idea).
