Debugging in R
Debugging in R is quite fine.
BNF description for R
Getting started with ess-tracebug for R
Here is a great overview how to get started with ess-tracebug.

R programming for those coming from other languages
R programming for those coming from other languages is a nice overview for most mainstream programmers coming to R today. It would serve you well to have a R terminal open while you read it to play with things so that they make sense.
The R Book, 2nd Edition
The R Book, 2nd Edition is a nice read and resource just four chapters in. It is new to me to find a resource that poses so many examples of things you want to accomplish with links for explanations how, instead of presenting a core of functionality and letting you choose how yourself. Definitely a “read-as-you-need” book, and the first chapter even explains how best to utilize it in that manner.

Chapters 1-5 seem to be about R proper, and everything else is about applied statistics.

All creativity is an extended form of a joke
All creativity is an extended form of a joke. Most creativity is a transition from one context into another where things are more surprising. There’s an element of surprise, and especially in science, there is often laughter that goes along with the “Aha.” Art also has this element. Our job is to remind us that there are more contexts than the one that we’re in–the one that we think is reality.
