[R] Learning R

[Paul Hiemstra]

Hi Julia,

I would really recommend reading a book on R. A good option might by the 
"Introductory statistics with R" by Peter Dalgaard, or the MASS (Modern 
Applied Statistics with S) book. The advantage of a book is that it 
presents a coherent overview, saving you time to wade through the 
enormous amount of information available. The wiki, FAQ and such are far 
more useful if you have a good understanding of the basics in R. What 
also helps if to find someone at your work, university or such that has 
experience with R. I learned a lot from colleagues, and now I can 
sometimes helps someone else out.

cheers and good luck!
Paul
