Presenter Information: 
Dr Bill Venables - Senior Statistician, CSIRO.
 
Bill Venables is a well-known figure in the S-PLUS community, particularly
for his contributions to S-news and books on S-PLUS. Since 1990 he has
presented S-PLUS courses at several levels.  His freely distributed and very
popular Notes on S were in the early 90s often the first introduction many
students had to the system. These subsequently led to a book, Modern Applied
Statistics with S-PLUS with Brian Ripley, first released in 1994 is now in
its fourth edition (July, 2002). A second book by the same authors, S
Programming, deals more specifically with advanced programming issues. It was
