What are some good books, web resources, and projects for learning R? [closed]

Tags:

I have a book called Statistics for Computer Scientists as well as my engineering statistics textbook, so I'm thinking about using various problems and examples in those to learn R, which is probably a good start. But can anyone recommend books and web sites that have information about R, especially if they are designed for people with some knowledge in statistics? Are there any medium to large projects or real-world situations where I, as a college student studying software engineering, might be able to use R to get a feel for it?
