RPIrates Tutorial: Simple Database Access with R

Take some time out from your busy week to talk about database access with R!

In this informal tutorial we'll share some recent experiences using remote and in-memory SQL databases (MySQL and SQLite) to access and analyze near real time, aggregated RPI WiFi data for the RPI SafeCampus and StudySafe applications.
