I honestly have no book on R programming. In fact I have not a single book on programming at all (my coding proves that ;x). I am pretty sure that I am gonna order (just did!) that book.
You can get a look of Matloff’s text here (= pdf for ya)

I found time and read Gelman and Hill’s “Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel / Hierarchical Models“…Now, please do yourself a favour and get it (of course the paperback version 
). Even for experienced or intermediate (myself) this will be a treat for your eyes and neurons.
PS : (Confession) I didn’t like the Bayesian Data Analysis book.
From the book website :
IPSUR stands for Introduction to Probability and Statistics Using R,
ISBN: 978-0-557-24979-4, which is a textbook written for an
undergraduate course in probability and statistics. The approximate
prerequisites are two or three semesters of calculus and some linear
algebra in a few places. Attendees of the class include mathematics,
engineering, and computer science majors.
Now, there is a new way to read R books (anyway, new to me!)

There were two men trying to decide what to do for a living. They went to see a counselor, and he decided that they had good problem solving skills.
He tried a test to narrow the area of specialty. He put each man in a room with a stove, a table, and a pot of water on the table. He said “Boil the water”. Both men moved the pot from the table to the stove and turned on the burner to boil the water. Next, he put them into a room with a stove, a table, and a pot of water on the floor. Again, he said “Boil the water”. The first man put the pot on the stove and turned on the burner. The counselor told him to be an Engineer, because he could solve each problem individually. The second man moved the pot from the floor to the table, and then moved the pot from the table to the stove and turned on the burner. The counselor told him to be a mathematician because he reduced the problem to a previously solved problem.

There is a certain hype about mixed (and random) effects among statistician and analysts. You can show some love to Douglas Bates and Martin Maechler for maintaing the lme4 package for our cupid, R
I copy the entity of the information of the projects page.
Doxygen documentation of the underlying C functions is here.
The project summary page you can find here.
References to articles and other research using nlme or lme4 can be found here. The LaTeX bibliography file can be accessed from here. If you would like to add your work to this database, please email vasishth.shravan at gmail dot com
Slides from short courses on lme4 are here.
Chapter drafts of the book lme4: Mixed-effects Modeling with R are available here.
To complete this quick post, I append the following vignettes.
Implementation Details
PLS vs GLS for LMMs
Computational Methods[source]
I must admit that I have a pretty complete electronic library from the giant publishing acts. Yet, from time to time, course notes are better to skim through as they tenf to get more practical (or cookbok if you want to!). The trend nowasays is to supplement everything with code or software packages. this is definetely a good thing with the exception that decent treory books of intermediate level are to cast to the ends of earth.
A good book on (applied) probability got into my mailbox. It’s Paul E Pfeiffer’s Applied Probability book spice up with Matlab code. I would definetely recommend this to intermediate students.
