# Enter IDAS
# What is it?
+ Cloud or server based computational environment for statistics/data science
+ Interact with computational environment in a **browser**
+ Embeds code with text
+ Jupyter Lab / Notebooks
- Can run different kernels: R, Python, Julia
+ RStudio Server
- Full R IDE
# Benefits - No Setup
