    Building Interactive, R-Powered Web Applications With Shiny: Jeff Allen, Dallas R Users Group

    Uploaded by

    Dnyanesh Ambhore
    Jeff Allen presented on building interactive web applications with Shiny, RStudio's new package for making web applications with R. Shiny uses a reactive programming model where code automatically re-executes in response to input changes, keeping outputs synchronized. Allen demonstrated simple examples like histograms and more advanced examples using D3.js and RGL. He discussed hosting options for Shiny apps, including RStudio's free Glimmer hosting platform and instructions for self-hosting with Shiny Server or Amazon EC2.
