The R Learning Curve in progress

About a month back I completed Computing for Data Analysis from Coursera.org and blogged about my learning experience. I have continued to play with R and it's different packages. I am doing a Data Analytics and Visualization course as part of my Master's program which is keeping me motivated to learn R further.

Over most of last month, I've been looking for R code I could learn from. Here are some projects/examples in R with code:
