What would be a good start to learn this? I have some programming background and really would like to get into statistics. Should I do some R tutorial and throw my weblogs at it to see what I can do? Or is there some awesome learning resource you could share?

There is a nice book by Brett Lantz called Machine Learning. The first edition (which I have) built machine learners in R, I assume the new second edition does the same.

I'm the organizer of the Dallas R Users Group. I've compiled a list of helpful resources for beginners. http://www.meetup.com/Dallas-R-Users-Group/pages/R_Helpful_Links/ http://www.meetup.com/Dallas-R-Users-Group/pages/R_Helpful_L...

If you come from a programming background then Hadley Wickham's book is probably the best place to start. http://adv-r.had.co.nz/ http://adv-r.had.co.nz/
