Hi Raphael: You mention being interested in "programming", which covers many various topics itself. I wholeheartedly recommend:
S Programming (2000) by Venables and Ripley . Don't let the date of the book nor the fact that R is not mentioned in the title dissuade you. Much like MASS by Venables and Ripley, I find there is always something useful to learn (or re-learn), particularly if you work through the exercises. The authors have excellent complementary materials to both books as well at the books' web sites: see the links for [5] and [4] at http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html. Hope that helps, Bill Centocor, Inc.
