Next OMG!Code: R Lightning Talks

[Chamelaeon Wombatowski]

Is the proper collective name for a collection of lightning talks a "thunderstorm"? I have no idea, but whatever you call it I'm coming prepared with several talks about R and various R frameworks for the next OMG!Code. 

If you're at all interested in data science, learning about quirky functional languages, or watching someone with a crippling addiction to Internet give several short talks, you should come on down.

This is on May 19th, right?

That's what I have on my calendar, yes.

The conflict with OJUG.org makes me sad.   :-(

Tonight! :)

I assume a keyholder will be there to open the door?

Thanks,

I have a key, and I'll be there around 6:30 or so to set up.

If there's time, would anyone be interested in hearing about Common
Lisp, Emacs, or ways to abuse a programming language?

Art -- you mentioned that some of your R/Rmd was in github. Can you post a link?

[Chamelaeon Wombatowski]

I actually shouldn't post my own personal repos on account of Coursera Honor Code and all, but the repo for all classes in the specialization is available at https://github.com/DataScienceSpecialization/courses. I heartily recommend taking the courses, though, even just the first couple - they work through R and knitr very early.

[Chamelaeon Wombatowski]

Holy crap! So I think it was Dave who asked about prettier representations of data frames in knitr output, because by default they're just blocks of ASCII text and don't look great. I poked around today while updating the soda document and discovered https://github.com/yihui/printr which seems to solve the problem perfectly.
