To which I would add, R is a great language for data analysis, statistics, and 
graphics (as statisticians use the term), and it will stand you in good stead 
for years to come. But you may find the learning curve fairly steep.

There are lots of good resources online. I'd start with the Task Views page on 
the CRAN website, and the Contributed Documentation link also on CRAN.

If your example code is short, there's a pretty good chance someone will browse 
it and say something useful. If it's long and complicated, not so much.

And a head's up; on the main R mailing list, R-help, some people are sometimes 
rather impatient with questions that don't demonstrate a reasonable attempt at 
having figured things out ones' self.

One final note, please send plain text, not html email (see the note at the 
bottom of your email). The list strips html, which sometimes causes email to 
become jumbled and unreadable.

    Hi Richard,
    
    Welcome to R!
    
    This email list removes attachments. Please either paste the code into your 
email, or post a link to it online.
    
    You’ll also get more useful and informative answers if you tell us what 
you’re trying to do, what you’ve attempted so far, and exactly where you’re 
stuck. “Explain the attached code” is a rather vague question.
