[Stephen Tucker]

This page is also a brief introduction to the S3 classes:

(see section on 'Object-oriented R')

and for S4, in addition to "How S4 methods work":

"How S4 methods work" highlights the differences between R's function-centric

as C++. This 10-page article is written by John Chambers.
