    I'm not sure if it's the most comprehensive, but I would start with Hadley Wickham's book, R for Data Science (R for Data Science). Also, the dplyr course from DataCamp is great.

    I had to learn dplyr from the vignettes, which are unusually good and can be found on CRAN.

    https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/dplyr/index.html

    But that was probably because this book hadn't come out yet:

    R for Data Science, by Hadley Wickham and Garrett Grolemund

    The first author is dplyr's creator.  I think that I would have liked to have this book back when I was first coming to dplyr.

    Hi Enayet,

    I second Justin and Edwards on Wickham's book. Also you can look at the dplyr part in this website:
    http://tidyverse.org

    Wickham has developed a series of really useful packages that share similar grammar, dplyr being one of them. You may find the other packages such as ggplot2, lubridate and stringr useful someday too! Enjoy!

    Most any book/introduction/summary by I have read by Hadley Wickham I found very useful - I just find his writing style very approachable.

    I have recently started using this book:
    Boehmke BC. Data Wrangling with R. Cham, Switzerland: Springer; 2016. (Part of the Springer Use R! series.)

    which I really like. "Transforming you datar with dplyr" is only one chapter, but Boehmke covers a lot of aspects of contemporary data handling/manipulation (such as "scraping data" from the World Wide Web with R).  Of course, reshaping data with tidyr is also covered as well as the pipe operator %>% and other features that will make your data wrangling tasks more enjoyable!

    Ditto what everyone else has said about Garrett Grolemund &  Hadley Wickham's book (free online here: R for Data Science)

    Also, RStudio has just advertised a new webinar for the latest release of dplyr, also free.
