I am often (OK, that is an exaggeration -- let's say "occasionally") asked by people how they can get started in R or LaTeX. One of the most useful norms surrounding open source software is the expectation that one will simply provide support and tutorials for free. When I find effective tutorials, I will link to them here.
Today I want to make you aware of some superb short videos to help with basic functions in R and LaTeX. Examples range (for R) from data entry to estimation of Poisson models to graphics with ggplot. For LaTeX, examples range from basic document structure to specific tutorials on Beamer (a package to create PP-like slides) and Tikz (a package to allow you to draw a wide range of figures including trees, mind-maps, and traditional XY plots).
To get started with these short videos, check them out at: http://www.youtube.com/user/ramstatvid.
