That only works for a subset of users: those who learn through watching/listening to courses and can wait 4 weeks or more before they need to actually accomplish something.
In the end, I managed to get the smoothed 3D graph I needed in under 2 days.  But that was 2 days of solid blue air around me.

(BTW: the course you referred to also has multiple prerequisites, this looks like the starting point: https://www.coursera.org/course/datascitoolbox.)

There are several good courses on coursera. No only do you learn R, you learn some applications. There is one on regression models starting today!

I wish I had known of this resource the last time I tried to use R for something. Maybe it will help someone else.
