R is an open-source programming language that has become the software

tool of choice in statistics and data science. R has flexible data

structures for organizing and storing data, graphical tools for

generating statistical graphics, and sophisticated data analysis

procedures for statistical inference.

Learning Base R provides an introduction to the language for those

with or without prior programming experience. It introduces the key

topics that you will need to begin analyzing data and

programming in R. The focus here is on the R language rather than a

particular application. The text contains over 400 exercises to assess

your R skills.
