i tried help my wife who use R in school, only to get quickly lost.
also attended ~1 hour R course on university.<p>to me, R was a waste of time and I really dont understand why its so popular in academia. if you already have some programming knowledge, go with Python + Scipy instead<p>EDIT: R is even more useless without r studio, <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rstudio.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rstudio.com&#x2F;</a>. and NO, dont go build a website in R!
