Even with technology, awesome doesn’t need to be new. See how I am building fancy charts in beautiful reports, using near-real-time data … with decades-old software!
In this session we’ll walk through the ancient (yet immensely relevant) technologies that I am using to generate data-rich PDF reports — straight from the command line. We’ll pull smart data out of the Harvest API, dumb data out of Google Sheets API. We’ll combine, aggregate, sort, and analyze the data with R Project. Then we’ll pull it all together by typesetting it with LaTeX into a presentable and repeatable format.
Stop by and see how this family of software cooperates to build an admirable presentation.
