Thanks to Parco Tecnologico Padano (PTP), I was invited to speak at the first Italian Bio R Day that was held in Lodi on 30 November 2012. It was a nice opportunity to talk and listen about different aspects of R from practitioners with different backgrounds (epidemiology, chemometrics and bioinformatics).
My presentation was about Reproducible Research in High-Throughput Biology using R and Bioconductor. The presentation was held in Italian but the slides and the case study are in English. All the material was created using Rstudio, taking advantage of its amazing integration with both knitr and github, knitr to convert R Markdown to Markdown and Sweave/knitr to LaTeX, and pandoc for converting markdown to html5. The material is quite basic, nevertheless I'd like to share it under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License. You can access everything from here. Fell free to fork it, highlight errors or plagiarism, suggest modifications, etc.: I'll be more than happy to fix bugs and give credits to where is due.
Finally, I'd like to thank Andrea Pedretti for inviting me at this nice meeting , Yihui Xie for his awesome knitr package and Vince Buffalo for his inspiring The Beauty of Bioconductor blog post.
You can create a gh-pages branch in your repository and the slides can be directly opened in the browser:

You need to create a repository named onertipaday.github.com before that, though: http://pages.github.com
Thanks for sharing the slides! It is great to see an Rnw document attached with the PDF document, and everything is on Github.
Dear Yihui, thanks so much for your kind words, the useful information (I'll take a look at this ASAP) and above all your awesome work!
