This is a new book by Danny Kaplan that I was able to provide some feedback on prior to publishing:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;data-computing.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;data-computing.org&#x2F;</a><p>I really enjoyed the book, it took a modern approach to R using many of the newer packages (dplyr for instance) and ggplot and combined them into a very nice introduction to R with labs, etc.  Well worth checking out.
