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.

Explaining the concept of dashboards


In today's business world, dashboards are a central concept in aggregating and displaying all kinds of information. More and more data becomes available every day, and so, the need to understand this endlessly growing data is urgent. People have to get insights on these large amounts of data and use them for their business decisions. In a nutshell, a dashboard can be summed up with the following quote:

"An easy to read, often single page, real-time user interface, showing a graphical presentation of the current status (snapshot) and historical trends of an organization's key performance indicators (KPIs) to enable instantaneous and informed decisions to be made at a glance."(Source: Peter McFadden CEO of ExcelDashboardWidgets)

The concept of data dashboards exists from as far back as the 1980s, and since then, they've gained a lot of importance for companies and are now a key concept for every company that wants to work in a data-driven fashion.
