Perhaps you like this manual I wrote (a couple of years ago, but it still covers some of the basics well):

A general strategy is doing this kind of google search:

data analysis filetype:r

Then choose the appropriate for your specific needs and try the code by yourself.

(Of course don' t pick up the first result!)

I would suggest the same. You can google your particular data analysis type coupled with R. Such as "Frequency Distribution + R".

Just bring the code to your R program and copy paste it. Sometimes some code require certain packages to be installed. No worry. Just copy the package and install it from inside R. On the menu, go to packages. Then select "install from local zip files". Browse for the package file and you are done.

Thank you all for you concrete suggestions and links. This is much appreciated.

Hi, when I got introduced first time to R Project, I found one Prof. Burkey on youtube making video versions of his lectures in Econometrics and using R. It was useful for me to get the basics in R. Unfortunately there is not one single play list like 'R introductory', but you'll have to find individual videos on your own. Here is the first one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C--G2ZNDXBU and this is Burkey's web page http://www.burkeyacademy.com/home/statistics-econometrics

And good luck with your work.

The first R I learned was from "Introductory Statistics with R" by Peter Dalgaard (Springer 2002). You'll probably find everything that's in that book for free online, but if you find it convenient to have a book open next to your computer, it's a good book, clearly written and to-the-point.

Thanks.

I used this tutorial to learn R: http://www.cyclismo.org/tutorial/R/

I wish that I had discovered this site when I was starting out with R

There is a series of O'Reilly books also:
