Recently, I received the following communication. Does anyone have any experience working with data sets provided by quandl.com?

Professor,

I have developed a platform for data tailored for researchers, and especially students.  The site is open and free, and has over 7 million economic, demographic, social, and more time series datasets available for downloading.  Importantly, the ease by which a user can find, trim, transform, merge, and download time series data from Quandl is -in my opinion- unmatched elsewhere.

My hope is that you will visit the site briefly, and perhaps offer me some feedback.  I've provided more information here:

www.quandl.com/academics<http://quandl.dmanalytics1.com/click?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.quandl.com%2Facademics&i=1&d=X9WY8Y3Z-Y4Z7-418Z-9Y13-U6ZXXVY2U11X&e=djones%40tarleton.edu&a=UYY43609-0U5U-4ZYV-Y7YW-0U98U0275673>


I have also begun to create tutorials to help teach students how to easily use Quandl in their work. If you have a request for a specific tutorial, I can create it to help with your course materials.

The first is an introduction to using R -the open source statistical software- and Quandl - http://www.quandl.com/learn/working-with-quandl-and-r<http://quandl.dmanalytics1.com/click?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.quandl.com%2Flearn%2Fworking-with-quandl-and-r&i=2&d=X9WY8Y3Z-Y4Z7-418Z-9Y13-U6ZXXVY2U11X&e=djones%40tarleton.edu&a=UYY43609-0U5U-4ZYV-Y7YW-0U98U0275673>



with thanks,
Tammer
