Draft of 2017-03-26

My book titled Learn R …as you learnt your mother tongue is nearly complete, but the text is not yet polished.

In the fifth draft version, published through Leanpub, approximately 95% of the book content is included.

The PDF of this updated draft of the book is available at http://leanpub.com/learnr for whatever price you would like to pay for it (including for free). However, paying even as little as 1€ for your copy would go a long way towards supporting the expenses of running this web site.

Status as of 2017-03-26. Except for the chapter on data manipulation, all chapters are close to their final form.
