[R] Looking for a book/tutorial with the following context:
Patrick Burns has been my great source of resources in my R learnings. Most of the answers you would find from his stuffs only, see "http://www.burns-stat.com/". However for functions and their executions/debugging related quires we might find John Chambers (http://www.springer.com/statistics/computanional+statistics/book/978-0-387-75935-7) most helpful.

Start with "Writing R Extensions", part of the free documents that come with R. Much of what you ask is covered in there. After reading that, then you can look for the other resources. -- Gregory (Greg) L.

I would like to thank you for spending your time to reply to my post. So far I checked the links provided. What is still missing is to find some information how local and global variables work in R. Do you know any link for that? (checked the book but from the table of contents is not clear if are included or not).

Thanks for your reply. Do you also know more references about variables? Unfortunately this was a little bit short so I do not feel 100% sure I completely got it.

A free book is available at: http://www.burns-stat.com/pages/spoetry.html Or the book S Programming by Venables and Ripley is another great source of information on programming in S/R. There are additional books listed at: http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html as well as much free documentation also through the r-project website that may help. -- Gregory (Greg) L.
