Title: S Programming (Not as an introductory Text)
Product review: This text was not well suited as an introductory text. I do not recommend this text unless you have some knowledge of a high level programming language or prior experience with S plus. This text is well suited as an intermediate level text. As its title implies it is inteded for those interested in more advanced programming with the S plus language. It is hard to read and the examples are are not always clear. The authors do provide a nice comparison of how S plus and R differ. For first time users of S plus I would recommend "The Basics of S and S-plus by Krause and Olson.
