Announcing the Release of SWIRL 2.0. Editor's note: This post was written by Nick Carchedi, a Master's degree student in the Department of Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins. He is working with us to develop the Data Science Specialization as well as software for interactive learning of R and statistics. Official swirl website: swirlstats.com On September 27, 2013, I wrote a guest blog post on Simply Statistics to announce the creation of Statistics with Interactive R Learning (swirl), an R package for teaching and learning statistics and R simultaneously and interactively.

Over the next several months, I received a tremendous amount of feedback from all over the world. Two things became clear: 1) there were many opportunities for improvement on the original design and 2) there's an incredible demand globally for new and better ways of learning statistics and R. In the spirit of R and open source software, I shared the source code for swirl on GitHub.

Today, I'm happy to announce the result of our efforts: swirl 2.0. Welcome to Open Library (Open Library) Welcome to Less Wrong. Edge.org. PSFK - Inspiring Creative Business.
