Kabacoff has outdone himself by significantly improving on the already excellent previous edition.

R in Action has been my go-to reference on R for years. The third edition contains timely updates on the tidyverse and other new tools. I would recommend this book without hesitation.

Outstandingly well-written. The best book on R programming that I have ever read.

Takes the reader through a series of essential methods from basic to complex. The only R book you will ever need.
