Pros

Cons

Top
Pro
Free
Everything on the website is for free and it covers quite a lot of what people new to R might want to do at the start. At least if they are interested mainly in statistical analysis (and less in R programming).
See More
Top
Con
Less helpful for programming
Quick-R is a nice resource if you want to learn quickly how to do basic statistic analysis. However there is little information on programming or basic principles of R as a programming language.

Pro
Allows for a quick start
With hands-on examples and code snippets it allows people to get started quickly.

Top
Pro
Good reference for transition from other statistical software
If people know the basics or come from different applications Quick-R is especially helpful, because people that know what they are looking for, will find easy guides on how to do certain things in R.

Practice the code after each video
After each video, there are a series of challenges that give you a chance to apply what you just learned. The great thing about these challenges are that they force you to think through a problem, and use the new skills to solve it. It's not just regurgitating facts; it requires some effort.

Paths for learning different skills
While you can jump into any video you like, there is also the option to follow a path for what you are wanting to learn. These give a nice direction if you are wanting to improve on a particular area and guide you into what to do next. They currently offer Ruby, Javascript, HTML/CSS, and iOS.
