Getting Started With R: Some Resources

There are many, many excellent resources for newcomers to R. Here are a few I can personally recommend.

On-Line Introductions and Tutorials

An Introduction to R: In R, run help.start(), then click on "An Introduction to R".: An introduction to many topics. Not very tutorial, however. By Venables, Smith, et al. Also available at http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.pdf.

The R Help mailing list: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help: An incredible amount of Q&A. Got a question? First, search the archives (http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/), since it's likely that someone already answered your question. Second, post your question if necessary, but read the posting guide before you do (http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html).
Stack overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/r: Ask a question, get an answer from an expert. Use the "r" tag.
Twitter: http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23rstats: If you can squeeze your question into 140 characters, someone might know the answer. Use the #rstats hashtag.
