Efficiency of learning materials depends on your background and learning style.
If you have any background at all in using software, the Introduction to R
document that is supplied with R is quite good. There is also a very useful
document on getting data in and out of R. There is a list of R books on the
CRAN website you can refer to.
Contributed packages (typically loaded using the "library" function) have their
own documentation, and in some cases have their own mailing lists. No central
book or document can be relied on to steer you to the perfect packages for your
needs, so learn to use the ? shortcut in R, Google, RSiteSearch(), or the sos
package to look for supporting functionality.
You can also learn quite a bit by lurking on this list and reading answers to
other people's questions.
