I also wanted to alert students to a more advanced resource.
Thanks for the link Brandon. Last week I came across this discussion with more suggestions:Thanks for the comment Laurel.There is a new edition(December 2010), of Dr. John Fox's book. I am contemplating buying it. Great to have so much choice! The "R in a Nutshel" Brandon mentioned seems to have good reviews as well.AgelosOn Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 10:32 AM, Laurel Grassin-Drake <lgrassin@mit.edu> wrote:

Gov 2001,
Thanks to everyone who is annotating, turning in the reading quizzes and otherwise participating in the class. One of the early pieces of feedback we've gotten is request for more R learning materials. I culled together some R resources that you may or may not have seen. These are in addition to the resources available on the Course Website under Computing Documentation, Using R and Zelig.
Teaching R through Sabermetrics
CRAN's Introduction to R
Some nice R exercises
LearnR Toolkit for Excel Users (exercises, lecture notes and video!)
The R Primer
You also might consider R in a Nutshell: http://www.amazon.com/R-Nutshell-Desktop-Quick-Reference/dp/059680170X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296270780&sr=8-1
Good luck and happy coding! I promise that it gets easier.
Brandon
