Dear Listers,
I've been a big fan of R since graduate school. After working in the
industry for years, I haven't had many opportunities to use R and
am mainly
using SAS.
My most extreme sympathies and condolences!
However, I am still forcing myself really hard to stay close to R
You have to *force* yourself???
by reading R-help and books and writing R code by myself for fun.
But by and
by, I start realizing I have hard time to keep up with R and am
afraid that
I would totally forget how to program in R.
I really like it and am very unwilling to give it up. Is there any
idea how
I might keep touch with R without using it in work on daily basis?
I really
appreciate it.
To me, using R is like riding a bicycle. Once you learn, you never
forget!
Actually that comparison is inappropriate in my case; such are my
bicycling skills that I am much more likely to forget how to ride a
bicycle than I am to forget how to use R.
Of course one forgets *details*. But those are just details. And
help.search() + RSiteSearch() will almost always recover those details
for you. If they don't, just ask R-help(), perhaps after putting on
your asbestos suit.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
