R help - Jul 2010 - Fwd: Functional programming and R: Recommendations?

Hello R list members, 

I have a good object-oriented programming and software engineering background 
(mostly Java) and know some R. 

I'd like to learn more about functional programming concepts and its support
and application in R. Do you have any recommendations (books, links etc)?

I read (and like) "Programming in Scala" (Odersky) and just ordered 
"Funktionale Progammierung" (Pepper/Hofstedt)

Thanks, FS

Hello,

You can find a list of some R books here
http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html.  I found Software for
Data Analysis particularly helpful for learning about how R worked and
some of the concepts.

Here is the reference and a link to it at Amazon
John M. Chambers. Software for Data Analysis: Programming with R.
Springer, New York, 2008. ISBN 978-0-387-75935-7

Cheers,

Josh
