It's rather idiosyncratic, but very powerful, and very fast. Here are some resources that I've found helpful in learning it, or that I've bookmarked to look at later, as well as some projects that make use of it. Before getting into resources for learning R, I highly recommend getting to know RStudio, an excellent development environment for running R scripts, examining datasets, and plotting data visualizations.
It's free and open-source, and it integrates well with RStudio's Shiny tool for sharing data visualizations online (see below). Getting started I've found several massive, open online courses (MOOCs) that had helpful introductory tutorials on R.

This book provides a plainspoken and thorough introduction to the web for historians—teachers and students, archivists and museum curators, professors as well as amateur enthusiasts—who wish to produce online historical work, or to build upon and improve the projects they have already started in this important new medium.

The book then takes the reader step-by-step through planning a project, understanding the technologies involved and how to choose the appropriate ones, designing a site that is both easy-to-use and scholarly, digitizing materials in a way that makes them web-friendly while preserving their historical integrity, and how to reach and respond to an intended audience effectively.
