(Arguably) the most important book for advanced R developers.  Written in the form of Dante's Inferno, it does for R what the Effective C++ books did for C++: those who read it will improve their code.  Those who don't will still write code that works or doesn't work, but it will be far from optimal.

A cool example of using R for game analysis.  Take it to Vegas!  (Is there R for Android?  If there is, it will help you to decide when to stop pulling that handle)
