Neil,

I am also new to R and I just bought the book of Peter Dalgaard (n°6).
I find it very practical. It covers a large panel of principal statistical techniques that you can use directly. I thinkk it is a good start for a R beginner. At least, it is good for me!
Don't forget the many resources on the R website.

Regards.
