I'm currently learning R for the first time in Data Analysis on Coursera. It's great because you are doing things in R to achieve a data analysis goal. It names several resources for getting R help. https://d19vezwu8eufl6.cloudfront.net/dataanalysis/gettingHelp.pdf https://d19vezwu8eufl6.cloudfront.net/dataanalysis/gettingHe... Keep in mind, the fastest answer is usually the one you find yourself. Try to search around on google, wikipedia, stackoverflow first. If you're still not sure, ask a question to the R mailing list or Stackoverflow. If it's a Data Analysis / Statistics question, ask on CrossValidated. If you're not sure how to do something in R, check the R libraries first with something like "how to do binomial dist in R". If you know the function you want to call, but don't know how it works, do "?functionName" and "args('functionName')". Here's an R cheatsheet: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Short-refcard.pdf http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Short-refcard.pdf Good luck!
