The use of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) and Step by Step screenshot tutorials is emphasized in this book to lessen the famous learning curve in learning R and some of the needless confusion created in cloud computing that hinders its widespread adoption. This will help you kick-start analytics on the cloud including chapters on both cloud computing, R, common tasks performed in analytics including the current focus and scrutiny of Big Data Analytics, setting up and navigating cloud providers.Readers are exposed to a breadth of cloud computing choices and analytics topics without being buried in needless depth. The included references and links allow the reader to pursue business analytics on the cloud easily. It is aimed at practical analytics and is easy to transition from existing analytical set up to the cloud on an open source system based primarily on R.
This book is aimed at industry practitioners with basic programming skills and students who want to enter analytics as a profession.

Pressezitat
From the book reviews:"The book is opening for experimentation and thought. It is full of practical examples, tons of relevant reference. ... is targeting a mature R user who wants to expand one's horizons or a corporate decision maker willing to take one's enterprise one notch ... further ahead in the game. ... A deserving read, even though more like a collection of stories and collection of technologies. A possibly convincing approach and sure inspiring to take the R community to new heights." (Z.
