Talk: Creating API's with R and Plumber

NottinghamR, Feb 2016 Sarah Introduces the first NottinghamR User Group Meeting I volunteered to speak at the first ever meeting of the NottinghamR user group, organised by Sarah of Capital One’s Data Science team. I spoke first, which may have been a bit of a full on start, but fortunately I was followed by the excellent Chris Beeley, who not only wrote a book on Shiny, but also talks about it extremely eloquently.

Urban Badger vs Streaming Video

My daughter is always asleep in bed when the local badger comes around. So we built a badger-cam to attempt to get video footage of our visitor. This is from the second night of filming. The camera is mounted inside an unused cat flap and the large shape dominating the top half of the picture is the flap itself, which had slipped down from the first night. Fortunately it doesn’t actually get in the way.
