An Introduction to R

R was originally for doing stats, but it now does database CRUD, reporting, documentation, and even websites. It can be awkward to know where to start, so this session fastracks you to the sections you need to know about to save yourself pains you didn't even know you had.

What's new in SQL Server 2014
