&lt;p>We&amp;rsquo;ve been teaching R workshops for over a year now at the University of
Melbourne, and one thing we&amp;rsquo;ve noticed is the disparity in skill level among
workshop attendees. Researchers generally fall into one of two catergories:&lt;/p>
&lt;ol>
&lt;li>
&lt;p>Absolute novices: those who have heard of R, but have never touched a
programming language before.&lt;/p>
&lt;/li>
&lt;li>
&lt;p>Regular users: those who are using R in their research, possibly on a
regular basis. They can modify scripts, and have a general understanding of
the language basics, but want to extend their knowledge.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
