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.

Summary


In this chapter, you learned what you need to create stunning web applications with the famous Shiny framework. This includes the whole process of planning, creating, and sharing a Shiny application. Next, we explained the link between the ui.R file and the server.R file. Then, we dedicated ourselves to the concept of reactive programming, which requires a more in-depth explanation and is used to make the Shiny framework fast, robust, and efficient. Furthermore, you got an in-depth introduction to the many possibilities for building a compelling user interface by taking advantage of highly flexible page layouts, widgets, and so-called Shiny tags. Moreover, we have shown several different ways to share your Shiny applications with others. In the next chapter, we will explore the opportunities when creating interactive documents with R Markdown.
