Other resources

Here are some resources I have found useful:

  • Shiny’s tutorials.
  • Once you have built a few Shiny apps, it can be helpful to get a better sense of what makes Shiny “tick”. Joe Cheng gave an outstanding tutorial at the precursor to rstudio::conf() in 2016: Part 1, Part 2.
  • Hadley Wickham’s Mastering Shiny.
  • Appsilon has a handy blog post: Dash vs. Shiny.
  • Dash’s documentation.
  • For an introduction to Observable, this tutorial page is a great start.
  • If you are comfortable with JavaScript and want to get a quick sense of Observable: the somewhat distractingly-named Observable’s not JavaScript.
