Review: Great book to learn R - This book is written very clearly with examples that don't assume a vast data science or statistics knowledge and will take you a long way to understanding and mastering R programming. The emphasis is on the programming and understanding R, rather than how you might utilise R with your own data. Which I feel is a better approach - I want to understand R with simple, clear example code, like this. Once I've gained the R programming skills I'll be able to use R for what I specifically want - i.e. time-series analysis and forecasting.
Review: Good book - worth buying. - I have to do some R programming for work. This book has good extended examples which help I understand how R works and demonstrate what R can do. I have learnt some other programming languages before and learnt a little bit of R back in uni. I wish I had this book when I was doing my uni course! It is not for total beginners, and it helped me to go deeper and use R in different ways. Some people say one can learn R from the Internet. That's true but this book provides a much more structured way for understanding each "class" and the associated attributes. Have almost finished the book and I think it is a keeper. I have bought other programming books before which I found totally useless.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful, but needs a glossary
*by L***R on 6 September 2013*

I needed some advanced statistical software and R came highly recommended. Having downloaded the software it became rapidly apparent I would need a guide. I have no background in computer program and the Amazon.co.uk reviews indicated this was the book for me. While I am finding the book useful as I slowly get to grips with how R runs, I would disagree about not needing previous computer programming experience. While the author explains some terms used, eg %%, I am left baffled by others and have to resort to online guides (which I was trying to avoid) in order to make sure I understand everything. If the author had included a simple glossary so I could understand why terms such as "==" are required, then I probably would have been all the way through the book by now and a competent R user. These may be simple for those with basic computer programming, but they are baffling to a newbie! This all said I would recommend the book because it has increased my knowledge. The layout is good and the level of usage builds up gradually. However external sources are also required, hence my four star rating.
