Summary
Advanced R helps you understand how R works at a fundamental level. It is designed for R programmers who want to deepen their understanding of the language, and programmers experienced in other languages who want to understand what makes R different and special. This book will teach you the foundations of R; three fundamental programming paradigms (functional, object-oriented, and metaprogramming); and powerful techniques for debugging and optimising your code.
By reading this book, you will learn:
- The difference between an object and its name, and why the distinction is important.
- The important vector data structures, how they fit together, and how you can pull them apart using subsetting.
- The fine details of functions and environments.
- The condition system, which powers messages, warnings, and errors.
- The powerful functional programming paradigm, which can replace many for loops.
- The three most important OO systems: S3, S4, and R6.
- The tidy eval toolkit for metaprogramming, which allows you to manipulate code and control evaluation.
- Effective debugging techniques that you can deploy, regardless of how your code is run.
- How to find and remove performance bottlenecks.
The second edition is a comprehensive update:
- New foundational chapters: “Names and values,” “Control flow,” and “Conditions”.
- Comprehensive coverage of object oriented programming with chapters on S3, S4, R6, and how to choose between them.
- Much deeper coverage of metaprogramming, including the new tidy evaluation framework.
- Use of new package like rlang (rlang.r-lib.org), which provides a clean interface to low-level operations, and purr (purrr.tidyverse.org/) for functional programming.
- Use of color in code chunks and figures.
