I'm looking to do statistics and modeling of metabolomics data, then go further with some data manipulations and calculations using the model's matrices, and have it be implemented in an easy-to-use manner. But I'm not a computer scientist or programmer by trade, so something user-friendly would be helpful. Thanks!
"Intro to R" is pretty good, R is pretty user friendly. Sites like StackOverflow are super helpful for when you get stuck. "An Introduction to Statistical Learning with Applications in R" is good if you're going to do statistics, it gives lots of example code.

I found the books below to be very helpful. The one I like the best is Lander's book. It has lot's of very useful code. Renee's recommendations are quite good. I have those as well. Good Luck and enjoy, David

The above referenced books are excellent suggestions. I would add, for your specific interest in metabolomics data analysis in R, this recent open source book chapter:
