About the Group

Unity is the most widely used tool to build games and has the largest platform support. We are a group of game developers with a range of skill levels, from professionals to beginners, who are looking for learning and networking opportunities. We also like to show off our work and get play testing feedback.

The Atlanta Mobile Marketing Organization (AMMO) is a group devoted to exploring the emerging technologies and services that will be required of organizations looking to capitalize on this unique marketing tool. We will seek to educate marketers, technologists and business owners on best practices as they relate to mobile marketing initiatives. Our goal is to create a community based on sharing knowledge and experiences from multiple disciplines.

Mobile devices are uniquely positioned to allow individualized, real-time and actionable marketing communications from businesses directly to consumers. Mobile marketing is poised to fundamentally alter the marketing landscape. While mobile devices present a fantastic marketing opportunity, they also present enormous challenges. A plethora of mobile platforms and hundreds of different mobile devices make delivering mobile content challenging to execute.

Whether you are an established interactive agency planning to expand your mobile marketing offerings, a mobile applications developer looking to better understand customer needs or a business owner just trying to understand what this growing channel has to offer, there is a place for you here.

R is an open source programming language for statistical computing, data analysis, and graphical visualization. While most commonly used within academia, in fields such as computational biology and applied statistics, it is rapidly gaining currency in commercial areas such as quantitative finance and business intelligence.

Among R's strengths as a language are its powerful built-in tools for inferential statistics, its compact modeling syntax, its data visualization capabilities, and its ease of connectivity with persistent data stores (from databases to flatfiles).

In addition, R is open source nature and extensible via add-on "packages" allowing it to keep up with the leading edge in academic research. For all its strengths, though, R has an admittedly steep learning curve; the first steps towards learning and using R can be challenging.

The Atlanta R Users Group is dedicated to bringing together area practitioners of R to exchange knowledge, inspire new users, and spur the adoption of R for innovative research and commercial applications.
