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 released in 2000 and is now in its third printing.
