Dear all,

As a follow-up to the discussion on listing R packages for SNA, the following list

https://github.com/briatte/awesome-network-analysis

now contains over 100 links to

- books, conferences, courses, journals, review articles and professional groups
- network dataset repositories
- software written in C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, R and more
- tutorials and other online resources

The list also links to the Wikipedia English page referred to by Barry Wellman a few hours ago.

Feel free to contribute directly on GitHub or by emailing me.

Cheers,

François
