In 2007, when I just started my new job, I am introduced to R for the first time, thanks to my boss Marc. Because I knew some of Visual Basic, C++ and Java for programming before, and I used S-plus (GUI of S language) for statistical analysis, I thought I could easily learn them all.
I was wrong. I didn't try hard of course and got lazy, however I did manage to start learning somehow around three quarters of last year by (this is embarrassing) reading books provided by R-project website! Why is it always hard to start a thing? Anyways, the more I dug into the language, the more my senses of programming revived I have forgotten. Yes, I am still learning but I wanted to share the way I plowed with someone who is now trying to learn about biological statistics and population dynamics.
Sometimes one graph is better than several pages of explanation. I love to create lots of graphs as much as I can. If you have a question, don't hesitate.
