R help - Jan 2006 - Announce: Contributed Documentation

[Version fran??aise plus bas]

To the R community,

A quick word to announce the publication of my document "Introduction
?? la programmation en S". It is available in the French section of the
Contributed Documentation page of CRAN.

Many of the documents or books currently available on S-Plus and/or R
present the software in a statistical analysis context.  My document
rather focuses on learning the S programming language underlying the
statistical functions. [Not unlike the first three chapters of MASS,
to which I frequently refer.]  Numerical and statistical applications
(currently only optimization, basic regression and basic time series
analysis) are deferred to later chapters.

The text was developed as support for a course where students learn a
second programming language. Therefore, it contains a good number of
example scripts and exercises.

If there is any interest, I might prepare an English version of
the document.

The document is published under the GNU Free Documentation License.

In the hope the document may be useful,

?? la communaut?? francophone de R,

Un petit mot pour annoncer la publication de mon document
??Introduction ?? la programmation en S??. Il est disponible dans la
section ??French?? de la page ??Contributed Documentation?? de CRAN.

Il existe d??j?? de multiples ouvrages traitant de S-Plus ou R.  Dans la
majorit?? des cas, toutefois, ces deux logiciels sont pr??sent??s dans le
cadre d'applications statistiques sp??cifiques. Mon ouvrage se
concentre plut??t sur l'apprentissage du langage de programmation S,
sous-jacent aux diverses fonctions statistiques.

Le texte a ??t?? d??velopp?? comme support d'un cours dans lequel les
??tudiants doivent apprendre un second langage de programmation. On y
trouve donc de nombreux exemples et exercices.

Le document est publi?? sous la GNU Free Documentation License.

En esp??rant que le document s'av??rera utile,

I will be very much interested in the english version of your documentation!

Thanks a lot!

Maybe a little little late, but if by chance you happened to create the
English version of the document, I would also be interested in reading it.

Thank you very much.
