A Brief Introduction to the R Programming Language

Jonathan KauffmanAugust 11, 2013BlogsNo comments

The R programming language is an open-source, interactive language that was designed for manipulating datasets, creating visualizations, and performing statistical analyses.

With large complex software applications, builds can often be split into different steps and tasks creating a series of jobs for our build pipeline. On my current project we are utilizing Jenkins to implement Continuous Integration/Continuous Deliver (CI/CD) and between the jobs for compilation, smoke tests, acceptance tests and deployment across environments in several […]
