I bogged down about half way through reading the Green Book, in part
because it became increasingly difficult to understand how some of the
ideas related to R, as opposed to S (which I have not used).  Does any
reader know whether there is a document that points out differences
between S and R that would be helpful in reading the Green Book?
Ideally, perhaps, I need a "crib sheet" to help relate "Programming with
data" to R, as opposed to S.  And, incidentally, in the opinion of those
who have read all three, which of the books, blue, green, or white (or
maybe V & R "S programming"?), would be most recommended as the next
book for one who would move beyond advanced beginner status?
(Programming experience in Fortran, APL, Python, small-system assembly
language, but not C).
