Rate this book
'Learn R in a Day' provides the reader with key programming skills through an examples-oriented approach and is ideally suited for academics, scientists, mathematicians and engineers. The book assumes no prior knowledge of computer programming and progressively covers all the essential steps needed to become confident and proficient in using R within a day. Topics include how to input, manipulate, format, iterate (loop), query, perform basic statistics on, and plot data, via a step-by-step technique and demonstrations using in-built datasets which the reader is encouraged to replicate on their computer. Each chapter also includes exercises (with solutions) to practice key skills and empower the reader to build on the essentials gained during this introductory course.

Great intro

Very useful for getting a feeling for the language with well written exercises. He even makes bits of it fun and funny

Pretty much what I expected from the title; a very brief introduction to the most used aspects of R. You can't "learn R" in a day, but you can function.

Basic intro to base R

Very short intro to base R. Doesn't cover Rstudio. It also doesn't say anything about installing packages. It is good on the basics.

This is a really good book to kick start your training with R. I complemented the book with Coursera and I had huge improvements. Each day, I went with a short chapter. Did the exercises and made sure to get the learnings.
It is well written and it goes straight to the point.
Loved it.

Excellent book! I took more than a day to get through it. But I was typing in all the examples and exercises. The book is a great nitro diction to the language.
