Overview of this book

R is a highly flexible and powerful tool for analyzing and visualizing data. Most of the applications built using various libraries with R are desktop-based. But what if you want to go on the web? Here comes Shiny to your rescue! Shiny allows you to create interactive web applications using the excellent analytical and graphical capabilities of R. This book will guide you through basic data management and analysis with R through your first Shiny application, and then show you how to integrate Shiny applications with your own web pages. Finally, you will learn how to finely control the inputs and outputs of your application, along with using other packages to build state-of-the-art applications, including dashboards.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned several methods used for sharing your Shiny applications with the world. This process is very easy indeed with fellow users of R, and a little harder with the whole Internet, but however you do it, I'm sure you'll agree that it was relatively painless and worth the effort. In this chapter, we discussed how to use Git and GitHub (and Gist) and how to use them to share your code and applications with other R users. We also looked at distributing Shiny applications manually or over FTP to R users using .zip and .tar files. We covered hosting solutions to share your application with the whole Internet, including shinyapps and Shiny Server. Lastly, we discussed compatibility issues that Shiny has with old versions of Internet Explorer, and when you do, and don't need to worry about them.
