Case Studies

R is a great language for data science, but sometimes the code can be slow to run. Combining the comfort of R with the speed of a compiled language
is a great way to reclaim the performance your code deserves.

C++ is a modern, high performance language that is simple enough to learn
in the context of accelerating R code. With the help of the Rcpp package,
C++ integrates very neatly with R. You will learn how to create and manipulate
typical R objects (vectors and lists), and write your own C++ functions
to dramatically boost the performance of your R code.


Introduction to Writing Functions in R

Learn how to use the Rcpp package to intergrate C++ with R to boost the performance of your R code. You'll learn to write, debug, and control C++ code.

Optimizing R Code with Rcpp

Use C++ to dramatically boost the performance of your R code.
