If you’re a user of the R statistical software environment (and you should be – if you’re not, it’s the best free lunch in town), then the (fairly) recently released RStudio user interface will undoubtedly interest you. Here’s a quote from the description on their website, to give you the flavour:
- “RStudio brings together everything you need to be productive with R in a single, customizable environment. Its intuitive interface and powerful coding tools help you get work done faster.
- RStudio is available for all major platforms including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It can even run alongside R on a server, enabling multiple users to access the RStudio IDE using a web browser.
- Like R, RStudio is available under a free software license that guarantees the freedom to share and change the software, and to make sure it remains free software for all its users. “
RStudio has been getting quite of a bit of attention – positive attention – especially in places that matter, such as R-Bloggers.
Anyway, I’d encourage you to check it out. If you’re not already an R user, this interface might persuade you to take the leap. Just make sure that you update your installation of R to (at least) 2.11.1 before trying to use RStudio.
