Preface

With this book, you will be able to harness the graphical and statistical power of R and rapidly develop interactive and engaging user interfaces using the superb Shiny package, which makes programming for user interaction simple. R is a highly flexible and powerful tool used for analyzing and visualizing data. Shiny is the perfect companion to R, making it quick and simple to share analysis and graphics from R for users to then interact with and query over the web. Let Shiny do the hard work while you spend your time generating content and styling, rather than writing code to handle user inputs. This book is full of practical examples and shows you how to write cutting-edge interactive content for the web, right from a minimal example all the way to fully styled and extensible applications.

This book includes an introduction to Shiny and R and takes you all the way to advanced functions in Shiny as well as using Shiny in conjunction with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to produce attractive and highly interactive applications quickly and easily. It also includes a detailed look at other packages available for R, which can be used in conjunction with Shiny to produce dashboards, maps, advanced D3 graphics, and much more.
