R for Data Science [1] is well-worth reading. Even if you're not planning on writing much R in the future, the book is a solid introduction to principles & practices, starting from an accessible level.
I'd also argue that it's beneficial to have a decent understanding of R when working with data, no matter what tool you favour. It's widely used, and so interesting things are written with it, and you're cutting yourself off from knowledge if you don't have at least a basic understanding.
