'R in a Nutshell' :: More than a "quick" desktop reference book

'R in a Nutshell' is suppose to be a reference book but is more than that! The author, J. Adler, with this second edition, refresh the first one with Hadoop ecosystem and how it integrates well with R. R in a Nutshell allows you to get working immediately. Full of example and guidelines. A 700 pages reference book for coding and learning this statistician language for parsing and visualizing data. There are a lot of information on where getting the data and how tackle the visualization, important part for decoding and analysing many data of multidimensional space. I recommended to everyone who have intereste in learning R, discovering new BigData related feature with Hadoop and as a reference book for more advance users.
