Can someone please recommend to me a book on the programming language that R is
based on? I'm looking for a foundational book that teaches the logic of the
S language. It seems that knowing the underpinnings of the language can only
make using R a bit easier.
Any leads are greatly appreciated . . .
Matt.

Matt, you might want to check out programming with data by John Chambers. http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Data-Guide-S-Language/dp/0387985034/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279990404&sr=8-1 Best Joe On Sat, Jul 24, 2010 at 11:39 AM, Matt Stati <mattstati@yahoo.com> wrote:> Can someone please recommend to me a book on the programming language that > R is based on?

Hi Matt, http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html Lists a variety of books, and seems to include most (i.e., my searches through google, amazon, and barnes and noble, didn't really turn up others) books dedicated to R. I have always been under the impression that Programming with Data (the Green Book) is a classic. http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html has the official manuals Similar questions have been asked several times on this list so you can also search for previous threads (e.g., http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/06/0063.html ) Best regards, Josh On Sat, Jul 24, 2010 at 9:39 AM, Matt Stati <mattstati at yahoo.com> wrote:> Can someone please recommend to me a book on the programming language that R is based on?
