Hi All, I am looking for references on R as a programming language (apart form the standard R-lang.pdf and the other manuals), reference that would cover _in_depth_ things like loops, code optimisation, debugging tools etc... and is as up-to-date as possible. Can anyone suggest any book or other reference apart from the "green book" and the V&R "S-programming"?
I think you've already got the best references.
There is always the source. In a sense, it IS the most in-depth and up-to-date description of the intricacies of using the language, though it isn't as easy to read as V&R's S Programming. In-depth and up-to-date are tradeoffs rather than being complementary. best, -tony "Commit early,commit often, and commit in a repository from which we can easily roll-back your mistakes" (AJR, 4Jan05).
