HOLY CRAP I love teaching people R. My office mate Charles is wanting to learn so he’s been reading some books and picking up the basics, but he’s told me that a lot of the books he’s looked at are reasonable for the first few chapters and then start getting too hard too fast or explain things really counter-intuitively.

So today I spent ten minutes or so teaching him how to write functions in R and he said that the way I showed it to him was way easier to understand than how the books explained it.

So now I want to write a (new) R booklet thingy. I still have that one I wrote a few years ago, but that was before I knew loops/functions/shortcut-type stuff.

WOO, R!
