Title: Installing R and Hello
Post by: louis homer on August 14, 2012, 03:53:03 PM

I am a new member. My Nexus 7 should be delivered next week. I am looking forward to many applications. One in particular is Installing R. Anyone with experience? Success? Failure? Caveats?

Welcome to the forum Louis, is Installing R an app? Sorry but I have not heard of it.

Although I barely understand what the heck R even is, all I can say is that you have your work cut out for you. The N7 and jelly bean are so new, you are probably going to be among the first to even attempt it. Keep a sharp eye out for others that speak your language. I'm sure that working with others on this could lead to some cutting edge innovations in the android world! Best of luck!

I hadn't heard of "R" either.  It appears to be a new programming language:

Interesting and completely above my level.
