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.
