What I need is an book for programmers (people who already know other programming languages).

This blog post is a horrifying start.

@peterdrake @data_science I have used "The Art of R Programming" as a text when teaching statistical computing. It's usually online somewhere in PDF form but I also keep a physical. It's decent for learning R when you don't know it already.

@rythur @data_science Yes, I'm liking this one much better. I need examples like everyone else, but as a computer scientist (and a tabletop gamer), I want the rules laid out explicitly. This book does that, points out where R's way is handy, and also points out the gotchas.

@peterdrake @data_science Heck yeah! I'm glad it's working out. This is the beauty of the internet sometimes. Enjoy and vectorize what you can!
