Re: R Package for Downloading FIRST API Data

Thanks for starting the API! With the right community for R, we can really bring the beginnings of data science to the masses. Machine Learning for alliance selection? K-Means for determining balanced alliances? We can really go a step further here than what exists today.

I've been doing a lot of work with Rshiny for work lately and it is easily the best interface for rapid prototyping of R data applications. Highly recommended, in 20 minutes you can have a quality interface. If you get proficient at it there are a lot of great job opportunities out there.

After R the next leap forward is Scala, but this is a great place to be today.
