R programming: Creating Graphs and Charts

-

 While I generally prefer to work in Python and SAS, I must admit that it is pretty easy to create graphs and charts in R. I have been told by some statistics and economics professors that they prefer to teach their students R because it is easier for them to do data visualization.

Below is a graph I created in R using data on life expectancy in the USA.  Although it is a simple graph, the same graph would have required a lot more code in Python.




On a more personal note, I am back in R after spending the last few years learning more about Python and computer science.

Space wars - Python 3 This is my first version of Space Wars  in Python 3 using C. Thomson's ideas and Turtle. I made this a few weeks ago but am only getting around to post it today.  It doesn't have any sound.

I play to start with Pygame before the end of the year.

I will continue on with the game and post the final version.  After learning how to make basic games in Python using Turtle, I plan to move on to making simple games using Pygame.
