Has anyone learned R?
What is the background required to actually learn this?
I would like to learn, but with little statistical background and no programming I think it may be a bit much to try and self-learn.
accountingbyday - R is the most recent development of the S-programming series, languages specifically made for statistics. What this means is that most online teaching sources will not teach you R without teaching you statistics too (e.g. do a t-test of this data).
I've just found a bunch of stuff freely available online to look through. As for R specific to finance - How many courses do you know in C++ specific to finance? Just learn the R, the rest will follow.

there's a ton of free information available. Best way to learn is just starting writing code and working through tutorials/examples.
