Along those lines, Thompson's "R accompaniment" to Agresti's text on  
"Categorical Data Analysis" is simply wonderful:

It's not surprising that Agresti recommends it on the book's homepage:
http://www.stat.ufl.edu/~aa/cda/cda.html

However, I suspect the OP might be better off with Agresti's "An  
Introduction to Categorical Data Analysis (2nd ed. 2007)". So perhaps  
following the link on Agresti's page to the linked and  website could  
be a first visit for worked R code examples. But when I followed that  
link I didn't find much that seemed appropriate for a beginner in R.  
Maybe looking at Friendly's website which was in the links at Bilder's  
site:
