Looks like fun, I'm in! But stackoverflow.com is probably a better place to pose random questions. On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 5:03 PM, Phill Clarke <phillclarke at gmail.com> wrote:
Hello, My first post to the list, and I hope I am not asking for something too cheeky! I am reasonably new to R, although do have some basic programming experience from years past. Currently I am using R, as a general scripting language to download CSVs, extract data from databases and generally manipulate said data. I chose R, as moving forward, I would like to perform various statistical anlyses on this data. At the moment, while I am making some good progress, being new to the language I'm really looking for some type of mentor who can review my code and make improvement suggestions. I'm sure I am doing some things the long way around! I'm hoping my questions won't too much along the lines of "How do I do this?" but more like "Am I doing this the best way?" I know there are a lot of forums and websites where I could just post questions, but I was aiming for more one to one interaction via email. Perhaps the response will be that I should just go and pay for some training. Fair enough too I suppose. However, my intention is to open source the output of my efforts, so I was hoping someone in the community would be kind enough on the input side to provide me with guidance under a similar ethos. Regards, Phill
