I agree with the suggestions made so far.  Also, consider buying
or borrowing a copy of Introductory Statistics with R by Peter
Dalgaard.  It is well written and brief.

Start with reading the manual An Introduction to R. There is quite a 
lot of literature mentioned under Documentation on the left hand side 
of http://www.r-project.org.

At an utterly basic level, a tutorial like
http://www.math.ilstu.edu/dhkim/Rstuff/Rtutor.html is
very useful.

The following two documents will always be of help:
http://oit.utk.edu/scc/RforSASSPSSusers.pdf
http://cran.at.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Farnsworth-EconometricsInR.pdf

Also consider, at the beginning, using a GUI like Rcmdr [1]. It's very
helpful in getting hold of the R syntax and keeping you functional at
the same time.

Liviu

2007-10-28 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
Google for
  CRAN contributed documentation
and the first link google gives will get you to about 2 dozen freely
downloadable introductions which you can choose from while the second
link google gives you is to the R manuals

Also google for
  Wikipedia R Programming Language
and check out the External Links at the bottom of that page.
