Advanced R is a valuable resource for R programmers seeking to enhance their understanding of the language and programmers with experience in other languages who wish to explore what sets R apart. This comprehensive book offers a thorough exploration of the foundations of R, encompassing three fundamental programming paradigms: functional, object-oriented, and metaprogramming. It also provides practical techniques for debugging and optimising code, empowering readers to write efficient and effective R programs.
Within its pages, readers will discover the nuances of objects and their names, understanding why this distinction is crucial. They will delve into the intricacies of vector data structures, exploring how they interrelate and how to manipulate them using subsetting. The book delves into the finer details of functions and environments, shedding light on their roles in R programming. Additionally, it introduces the condition system, which powers messages, warnings, and errors in R.
The second edition of Advanced R is a significant update, offering new foundational chapters on names and values, control flow, and conditions. It provides comprehensive coverage of object-oriented programming, including chapters on S3, S4, R6, and guidance on choosing the appropriate OO system for different scenarios. The book also delves deeper into metaprogramming, introducing the new tidy evaluation framework and exploring the use of new packages like rlang for low-level operations and purr for functional programming. Furthermore, the second edition incorporates colour coding to enhance readability and clarity.
By mastering the concepts and techniques presented in Advanced R, readers will gain a deep understanding of R's core functionalities and be well-equipped to tackle complex programming challenges. Whether you are a seasoned R programmer or a newcomer to the language, this book is an essential resource for advancing your skills and unlocking the full potential of R.
