However, along with Shiny, it is also gaining territory in the web application world, due to its simplicity and flexibility. Shiny is a framework that enables the creation of interactive visualizations written entirely in R and can be displayed in almost any ordinary web browser. It is a package from RStudio, which is an IDE for R. From the fundamentals of R to the administration of multi-concurrent, fully customized web applications, this book explains how to achieve your desired web application in an easy and gradual way. You will start by learning about the fundamentals of R, and will move on to looking at simple and practical examples. These examples will enable you to grasp many useful tools that will assist you in solving the usual problems that can be faced when developing data visualizations. You will then walk through the integration of Shiny with R in general and view the different visualization possibilities out there. Finally, you will put your skills to the test and create your first web application!

I disagree with the other reviewers. This book is an introduction to Shiny and it covers the case where the reader may also be new to R.It provides an excellent description of the Shiny archictecture, the connection between the UI processing and the data-processing backend. The chapters slowly progress through the various Shiny capabilites with straightforward examples which are easy to understand and demonstrate the interactions between user-input, data processing, UI updates, etc. It also covers (briefly) how to include HTML, CSS, javascript into Shiny applications.The final chapter develops an application where all the parts are linked and demonstrated.If you need more details, then you do have to look elsewhere.

This is value for money given the technical content of the book.What I liked about the book is that it goes straight to giving the technical knowledge and understanding of Shiny.Where I would think it could be better is to bring the last chapter forward and start off with an overarching view of using Shiny and its Conceptual design (this would help the reader to associate better web design and using Shiny). Also suggest removing the introduction to R portion, which is too brief and not necessary since it is very likely people who wish to learn about Shiny already know R. (started reading straight from chapter 4).Overall, this book is geared more towards the technical aspect and helps to stir interest in picking up Shiny development.

There are very rare books written on shiny. It is an introductory book to get you started with Shiny. The book covers very basic examples so do n't expect to have expert skills after reading this book. Chapter 11 From White Paper to a Full Application did nice job in giving an overview of end to end development process.

Online tutorials provided by R Studio are superior. Provides little additional value for the cost. Probably good if you are new to R and Shiny, not good for advanced users.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
