Another introductory document is
	"Bootstrap Methods and Permutation Tests"
	http://bcs.whfreeman.com/ips5e/content/cat_080/pdf/moore14.pdf
This focuses on the methods, not on particular software.

There is an accompanying library at
	http://www.insightful.com/Hesterberg/bootstrap/IPSdata.zip
that includes the datasets.  While this is for S+, R users could
adapt the data/readdata.ssc file to load the datasets.

The document is written for introductory statistics students, but
should be interesting to those who are more advanced.  For more info see
