R is one of the most important programming languages when it comes to the domain of data science. It is a programming language that is especially suited for Data Science applications. It is a powerful statistical computing platform that is used for deriving valuable insights from Data. It is extensively used for data manipulation, business analytics, machine learning algorithms and data visualization techniques.

R-users.com online!

Posted by | February 12, 2014 | news

Today I launched R-users.com.

My vision for this site is to give one more tool for people and companies to find R users and promote collaboration.

The site allows R users (and companies) to post “job” listings on all things related to R.

Examples of who should care about this:

1) Companies looking to hire people with R skills.

Submit Job

2) R users who are looking for a job

Home

3) R freelancer who wish to invite people to get in touch with them. Just set up your “resume” here:

Login

4) R users who are looking to find partners for their work. This includes people who want help with making an R package from their new statistical algorithm, or speeding up their R code. Just post a “job” with the details.

The site is still in BETA stages, and any input/idea you have about the site will be very welcomed (ranging from “great job” to “you are missing the ___ category”).

Yours,
Tal Galili
