## Description

R is the world's most popular language for developing statistical software: Archaeologists use it to track the spread of ancient civilizations, drug companies use it to discover which medications are safe and effective, and actuaries use it to assess financial risks and keep economies running smoothly. The Art of R Programming takes you on a guided tour of software development with R, from basic types and data structures to advanced topics like closures, recursion, and anonymous functions. No statistical knowledge is required, and your programming skills can range from hobbyist to pro. Along the way, you'll learn about functional and object-oriented programming, running mathematical simulations, and rearranging complex data into simpler, more useful formats. You'll also learn to: –Create artful graphs to visualize complex data sets and functions –Write more efficient code using parallel R and vectorization –Interface R with C/C++ and Python for increased speed or functionality –Find new R packages for text analysis, image manipulation, and more –Squash annoying bugs with advanced debugging techniques Whether you're designing aircraft, forecasting the weather, or you just need to tame your data, The Art of R Programming is your guide to harnessing the power of statistical computing.

Review: Good book and probably one of the best for R programming. - Although there is an ebook version available for all, I would highly recommend every statistician or a developer taking the journey of data analytics domain to buy the printed version of this too. Its not too difficult to state that this is perhaps the best all-round R programming book in the market. There are others too available, but I find the text here to be very comprehensive and practical. Norman has provided numerous examples on complex functions that passionate and serious R developers will find it enjoying to imitate in their own computers. I haven't read every page of the book but only the required sections and I can conclude with full surety that his book is a mix of a programming manual with a beginner's touch to it. Norman succinctly explains every technical detail of the R language without going into too much depth that the reader will find confusing and yet maintains a newbie approach to most of the stuff. Some sections might seem confusing but I always recommend to practise the exact code provided in the book to get a proper understanding of it.
Review: Great Book - This book was first of its kind when released at around 2011-12, Now I still recommend it. Must read for those who want to do serious stuff in R

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book.
*by S***H on 24 February 2019*

Great book. A must for R beginners and a stepping stone into statistical programming. It helped me overcome various challenges in data analysis. Moreover, it helps with the integration of c/c++ codes with R and improves the performance of codes as well.
