An example how to get all tweets containing a hashtag (here #BOSC2015) and storing each tweets as JSON string.
from TwitterSearch import *
import json
try:
tso = TwitterSearchOrder()
tso.set_keywords(['#BOSC2015'])
# Please replace with your credentials
ts = TwitterSearch(
consumer_key='REPLACE_ME',
consumer_secret='REPLACE_ME',

been working on the fulltext package lately - and starting thinking

hmmmmmm, it's probably not that easy to extract text from articles for those not familiar with XML, XPATH, etc.

So this happened recently:

Adding a `git hub` alias

My first stab at a basic R programming curriculum. I think teaching just these topics without overall motivating examples would be extremely boring, but if you're a self-taught R user, this might be useful to help spot your gaps.

Notes:

  • I've tried to break up in to separate pieces, but it's not always possible: e.g. knowledge of data structures and subsetting are tidy intertwined.

  • Level of Bloom's taxonomy listed in square brackets, e.g. http://bit.ly/15gqPEx. Few categories currently assess components higher in the taxonomy.

knitr setup for Rmd files

This code block goes at the top of every Rmd file that I create for eventual conversion by knitr

# sets output for inline results nicely
knit_hooks$set(inline = identity) 

# kills knitr if there is an error, therefore we don't waste time generating error messages
knit_hooks$set(error = function(x, options) stop(x)) 

# these are extremely useful options for working in R
