R for Programmers: Mastering the Tools

by Dan Zhang

Overview

Unlike other books about R, written from the perspective of statistics, this book is written from the perspective of programmers, providing a channel for programmers with expertise in other programming languages to quickly understand R. The contents are divided into four parts: the basics of R, the server of R, databases and big data, and the appendices, which introduce the installation of Java, various databases, and Hadoop. Because this is a reference book, there is no special sequence for reading all the chapters. Anyone new to the subject who wishes to master R comprehensively can simply follow the chapters in sequence.
