R could use something like the Python ecosystem intro, explaining where to find stuff, not sure if any of the tutorials are as canonical as for instance Dive Into Python or Learn Python The Hard Way.

- pseut 14y ago> R could use something like the Python ecosystem intro, explaining where to find stuff, not sure if any of the tutorials are as canonical as for instance Dive Into Python or Learn Python The Hard Way. It only became popular recently; the expectation used to be that you'd learn R while enrolled in a statistics class. The canonical references are books: Modern Applied Statistics with S, R Graphics, etc. I assume that will change soon.
