Some links

S-Plus tutorial
There are a lot of these on the web... most - like the one I've linked, are for the command line driven version. since the windows version is essentially a pretty graphical wrapping of an old and complicated piece of software, it is useful to know what's going on down there. Plus, a lot of the spatial stuff isn't supported via toolbar buttons!

S-Plus corporate page

R
R is an open source statistics package available for Windows/Linux based on S. It is extremely similar to the command line (and source code) driven. It looks like pretty good code, and it is free. The spatial library is available for it. I am playing around with it now and would ba happy to help you with installation and use questions on your own computer.

Guide to online, free spatial data
"Starting the Hunt" lists a lot of places to look for spatial data. If you don't have a data set in mind for your project, you might look here.

Peter Diggle's data sets
Small point pattern and geostatistical data sets. Small is often good, especially for class projects!
