I just started learning about ggplot grammar. I was reluctant at first but now I understand the basics, it makes sense, I find it well design: one can do simple and complex graphics in the same consistent way. This is the ggplot tutorial <http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/> I have used.
I find it very exciting that Gadfly supports this consistent grammar. It can also export your plots in javascript, another great handy feature in my opinion.
