Writing reports with knitr

I just taught a workshop at Penn that ended with knitr and all the feedback was "we want more knitr!" so I'm expanding it for the Boston crowd. The target audience for the seminar section is more toward beginners who have not experimented with knitr, but I hope folks who already use it might learn a trick or a better way to do something, either from me or another attendee.

We'll go over the anatomy of a knitr report (YAML header, Markdown, chunks, output options) and I'll demo a few reports - a very simple one and an envelope-pushing one.

I intend to leave time at the end for folks to work on a knitr project in a friendly & knowledgeable environment. SERIOUSLY: Bring your data!

Pizza and drinks will be provided by our awesome hosts!

Again I'm requesting that you share a full name through the RSVP (only goes to organizers) so we can accommodate our host's security practices.
