R, C++, and ggplot

The Chicago R User's Group will have it's next meet-up on August 8, and it will be a good one.

Chicago's own Dirk Eddelbuettel will describe Rcpp, the best way to bridge R and C++, making your programs blazingly fast. Check out his new book: Seamless R and C++ Integration with Rcpp.

Chase Carpenter will present an introduction to ggplot, the elegant graphics package that produces beautiful plots. It's a huge step up from base graphics.

Our sponsor, Revolution Analytics, will pay for the free pizza -- thank you, Revo!

Doors open at 5:30. Talks begin at 6:00. We hope to see you there!
