What I need is an #rstats book for programmers (people who already know other programming languages).
This blog post is a horrifying start.
@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!
