[R] R Book Advice Needed

[Vincent Goulet]

Alain,

I didn't notice you can read French when I first saw your message.

If you want to start learning R by the programming language, you  
might appreciate my document "Introduction à la programmation en S",  
available in the Contributed documentation - Other languages - French  
on CRAN. The document will form the basis of the book I should  
publish with Springer in 2008.

Comments appreciated.
