Good resource, i had to start using R recently and most of the examples and books i found were of the "stats with R" variety which all emphasise how to just roll along with the library functions. The general advice i got from some statisticians was to find someone else's code that kind of works and copy|paste. Blurg

The official help docs are very good, also the extensions guide is pretty vital if you're linking to c etc. http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html

Also the ESS(emacs speaks statistics) extension is really really good, well certainly if you're doing something statisticy with R.
