<p>This past weekend I attended the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://datadaytexas.com/2018-r-user-day/news" target="_blank">R User Day at Data Day Texas</a> in Austin. It was a great event, mainly because so many awesome people from the R community came to give some really interesting talks. Lucy D’Agostino McGowan has kindly provided a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://livefreeordichotomize.com/2018/01/28/wrangling-data-day-texas-slides/" target="_blank">list of the talks and links to slides</a>, and I thoroughly recommend checking it out: you're sure to find a talk (or two, or five or ten) that interests you.</p>
<p>My own talk was on Speeding up R with Parallel Programming in the Cloud, where I talked about <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2018/01/doazureparallel-simulations.html" target="_blank">using the doAzureParallel package</a> to launch clusters for use with the <code>foreach</code> function, and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2018/01/azure-sparklyr-aztk.html" target="_blank">using aztk to launch Spark clusters for use with the sparklyr package</a>. I've embdeded the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.slideshare.net/RevolutionAnalytics/speed-up-r-with-parallel-programming-in-the-cloud" target="_blank">slides</a> below: it's not quite the same without the demos (and sadly there was no video recording), but I've included screenshots in the slides to hopefully make it clear.</p>
