Manchester R user group slides

I gave a short talk on the autodb package to the Manchester R user group a few days ago. The slides are now available here, or from the autodb project page.

The talk seemed to go down well, and I got a few questions and conversations afterwards. The Manchester R user group is in a good place, with a reliably good turnout: it’s been managed by Datacove and Better Placed for the last three years, and is in good hands. If you’re near Manchester and interested in the language, do give it a look.

The other talk was given by Russ Hyde from Jumping Rivers, on various ways to organise Shiny code into layers, and prevent it from becoming a big ball of mud. I’ve only written a Shiny application once, as a mock-up, and it looked to be very easy to write yourself into a complete mess, so definitely something worth thinking about.
