Summary

This chapter has covered the most important aspects of how to share an application with R, and especially non-R, users. From the different alternatives presented here, hosting the application on a web server is particularly important, as it is probably the best way to share applications on the Internet. On the other hand, this is the one that requires more configuration, certain expertise, and, as usual, some trial and error.

The next and last chapter will be a step-by-step guide to code a sample application in R and Shiny, which will cover not only the code but the strategies used as well, the decisions taken, and so on. Thus from this book, you will not only have the guidelines for the necessary hard skills to code an application but also get an idea of, which are, conceptually, the best practices for these kinds of visualizations.
