Sheffield R Meetup - October - [Updated] Exploring R interfaces

Update: Due to a change in availability we have had to postpone the talk by James Waterhouse from Sky Betting and Gaming. If you were hoping to catch James then stay tuned: we're hoping that he will be able to join us at a later date.

At this month's meeting we'll be talking about how R interacts with different languages and technologies.

Our very own Mat Hall will give us a crash course in using R with Jupyter notebooks for interactive reproducible and collaborative research.

We'll also hear from Mike Croucher (https://www.software.ac.uk/mike-croucher), who is an EPSRC Research Software Engineering Fellow working at The University of Sheffield. Mike specialises in assisting researchers to produce better quality software. He is co-founder of The University of Sheffield's Research Software Engineering group (http://www.walkingrandomly.com/?p=6037)and plays a major role in the Sheffield Open Data Science Initiative (http://opendsi.cc/). In September Mike was involved in organising the first ever Research Software Engineering conference (http://www.rse.ac.uk/conf2016).

We look forward to seeing you there!
