Dear R community, some days ago Enric Cervera Mateu has installed an R client with instant messaging, which is usable very simple via the public name @Tele_R in the messenger Telegram.
I have tested Tele_R and e.g. tried most of the examples from [1] W.N. Venables, D.M. Smith, R Core Team. "An Introduction to R." R Core Team. iBooks. and of ยง1 of [2] B. Everitt, T. Hothorn. "An R and S-plus Companion to Multivariate Analysis. Springer. All is working very good in this environment. I am very impressed. I like the possibility to use R without installation complications with my iPhone, iPad or HTC One. The answers are send very fast, the idea to use a chat for mathematics communication seems to be especially suited to beginners: direct dive in, OS as you like, working anywhere, talking over distance, communicate with your peers or students (share code or examples etc even during a lesson - if a beamer is not available) etc. I would like to thank Enric for his valuable work to make the great work of the R team accessible to smartphones and tablets. I think that Tele_R is a very comfortable tool for teaching and learning R at an undergraduate level. And I would like to hear about the experiences, opinions or ideas of other members of the R community with respect of the use of Tele_R. I hope that this is not the wrong list to say these words. Best, Wolfgang Lindner Leichlingen, Germany ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
