Matloff's book is very good, but a critical shortcoming is that it does
not include exercises, so it may not meet the stated requirements.

You could have him work through Norman Matloff's book, "The Art of R
Programming" which covers the things you list.

Hi the list,
I am looking for some exercices for a PhD student
that start to learn R. He already "read" some tutorial, but now he
needs
some practice.
He does *not* need to learn any statistical tools ; he
just needs to work on programmation concept. So I am looking for some
exercice sheet that will, for example, focus on :
- structuring the
data (data.frame / list / matrix / ...)
- using controle syntax (for
/ if / while / function)
- reading data
- ...
Any link for this
kind of material?
Sincerely
Christophe

Hi Christophe,
The following set of exercises (by Robin Reed and myself) is aimed at
people
wishing to learn R in a non-statistical context (there are exercises
involving
matrices (and arrays) and vectors and writing functions).
Maybe your student might find them useful.

Best,
