Summary: Basic S plus for graduate students in statistics
Comment: This is an excellent text for first time exposure to S plus. As a graduate student in statistics, I found this text to be appropriate and helpful. I found this text to be very readable. I would encourage professors to consider this book as an introductory text. It lacks coverage of old and new style classes but does a nice job covering the graphic capabilities of S plus.

Summary: The Basics of S and S-Plus: a good starting point.
Comment: The book provides a very good working introduction to Splus and programming in S. It is geared towards those who will be using the command line interface. There were enough examples to help me to begin to do fairly complex statistical analysis in just a few hours of starting work with a large database. After 2 years, I still find the examples and tables about graphics helpful.

Summary: Excellent introduction to basic Splus.
Comment: The Amazon synopsis accurately describes the content and function of this book. Each chapter includes multiple examples of the structure of the syntax and use of Splus functions, and concludes with exploratory exercises (with solutions) to further the chapter theme. I am a graduate student with a modest understanding of statistics and virtually no programming experience. This book enabled me to construct custom bootstrap functions for exploratory data analysis within two days of beginning to learn Splus. This book is more easily read than any other Splus guide I have found, and I would recommend it to anyone using Splus, beginners and experienced users alike.
