This month, we will be hosting J.J. Allaire, the principal developer of RStudio and company founder. J.J. has many years of experience developing large software products, including ColdFusion (http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/) and Window's Live Writer (http://explore.live.com/windows-live-writer?os=mac).

In his talk J.J. will discuss the origins and future directions of the RStudio project, show the basic features of the IDE, demo and discuss how to deploy RStudio Server (running R on a Linux server and accessing the IDE through a web browser), as well as preview the next beta release of RStudio.
