Welcome to the North Country R Users Group new blog.
Here we will post resources, links to code, etc. from our meetings. We had a great first gathering of the summer yesterday, with about 18 folks in attendance. Soon I will be emailing that group with updates including a link to this blog post, where I’m listing some resources for learning R. We have a lot of first-timers in the group. If you have other resources you like for learning R, let me know, and I’ll add them to the list.
By the way, this post is formatted using Markdown - something some have expressed learning more about this summer. Stay tuned!
