[R] Which parts of the book "Programming with Data: A Guide to the S Language" are still relevant now?
Hi, The book "Programming with Data: A Guide to the S Language" was published over 10 years ago. I know that to understand object oriented programming. I should read the associated section in this book. But I am wondering if other chapters, in particular "Chapter 3. Quick Reference", are still relevant now if I want to learn R. Regard, Peng

Why not pick 'Software for Data Analysis: Programming with R' by the same famous author, but a) released only last year and b) finally with R in the (sub-)title?
