R creates d3/javascript charts in Ipython Style Notebook

I am not sure I have ever done a post like this, but I was so blown away I had to do this post simply to embed this amazing Youtube video from the author of the R packages rCharts and slidify.  Watch this screencast as he creates d3/raphael charts from R using rCharts integration with polycharts, nvd3, xCharts, and morris.  To top it off, he does it all using shiny to create an Ipython type working environment.

  3. ctrl + alt + i to insert the chunk is the shortcut that Yihui Xie added. Ramnath says he has lots more improvements in the works.
