SUMMARY
Self-learning Bayesian Statistics and R programming is entirely feasible with the right resources. Recommended materials include the book "Data Analysis and Graphics Using R" by John Maindonald and John Braun, published by Cambridge University Press, although it may be slightly outdated. For Bayesian inference, high-quality study notes in PDF format are available, which can serve as an excellent supplementary resource. Engaging with these materials will provide a solid foundation in both Bayesian statistics and R programming.
