    learning than Lander, but comprehensive coverage
    of classical statistical analysis as done in R.

    The Art of R Programming


    Norman Matloff
    Discusses R from a Computer Science
    (programming) rather than Statistical
    perspective. Includes a chapter on Rs debugging
    environment very useful!
