In my day job I use SAS and Google papers all the time from SAS user groups. With R I tend to use the Help files. I think if you Google R you would find a lot too. Also there are a few books around 20$ in print that I think are also free pdf's that teach doing statistics such as the one beside me here Venables, W. N., Smith D. M. and the R Development Core Team, "An Introduction to R", (Bristol, UK: Network Theory, 2004).
