Book review by Sunil Gupta, SAS, CDISC and R Corporate Trainer and Author, Founder of R-Guru.com
While this book is ideal for biomedical applications, the author transforms this complex topic to a language that is easier to read! The step-by-step instructions follow a cookbook similar to recipes. It is obvious the author has in-depth knowledge and real-world hands-on experience with R. The book has sections for each bioinformatics subtopic to explain tasks, how and what R codes to execute, line by line, and references for more information. This blueprint is ideal to help guide readers of all levels.
This book has good structure and programming style as well as logical content. A complete end-to-end work flow process is reviewed with the appropriate R packages as solutions to complete tasks. This saves reader’s time so they do not have to search and review R packages. In addition, when ready, readers can produce publication quality tables or graphs to share or to post online as Shiny apps. Readers in this field can jump start their understanding and progress toward getting projects started as well as keeping to tight deadlines!

True to the book’s name, Extending R is full of R history, scope, structure and applications. R enthusiasts will be happy to access the comprehensive wealth of information, explanations and examples all in one place. This unique book extends R with a separate section and chapters for each interface language. So, if you are a Python or Java programmer, for example, you can apply the programming tips to save you time when building applications.
In the advanced technical world of R, this book helps guide programmers to object-oriented programming principles, classes, methods, fields, functions and packages. Also included are data conversion sections to help with data and system migrations. Extending R is a reference dictionary with a glossary of terms as well as research and mathematical analysis.
