In Chapter 2, Communicating Your Work with R Markdown, we learned how to structure and create R Markdown documents and presentations in RStudio. But all previous R Markdown formats were purely static. In this chapter, we want to focus on the opportunities to create interactive documents with R Markdown and RStudio. This is, of course, particularly interesting for the readers of a document, since it enables them to interact with the document by changing chart types, parameters, values, or other similar aspects. In principle, there are two ways to make an R Markdown document interactive. Firstly, you can use the Shiny web application framework of RStudio, or secondly, there is the possibility of incorporating various interactive chart types by using corresponding packages.

Overview of this book
RStudio helps you to manage small to large projects by giving you a multi-functional integrated development environment, combined with the power and flexibility of the R programming language, which is becoming the bridge language of data science for developers and analyst worldwide. Mastering the use of RStudio will help you to solve real-world data problems.
This book begins by guiding you through the installation of RStudio and explaining the user interface step by step. From there, the next logical step is to use this knowledge to improve your data analysis workflow. We will do this by building up our toolbox to create interactive reports and graphs or even web applications with Shiny. To collaborate with others, we will explore how to use Git and GitHub and how to build your own packages to ensure top quality results. Finally, we put it all together in an interactive dashboard written with R.
