Shiny is a new package from the makers of RStudio, that makes it easy for R users to create interactive web applications. It includes a library of easy-to-use input widgets like sliders, drop-downs, and text fields, and easily displays plots, tables, and summaries. Shiny features a "reactive" programming model that makes it possible to write robust, efficient, dynamic user interfaces with surprisingly little boilerplate code.

No knowledge of web technologies is necessary, but Shiny users who do know HTML and JavaScript can extend the framework with new types of input/output widgets and visual themes. These Shiny extensions can then be bundled into R packages for easy reuse by other Shiny users.

In this meetup, Joe Cheng (software engineer at RStudio and creator of Shiny) will give an introduction to the framework, walk through simple and complex Shiny applications, and talk about future plans for Shiny.

Parking passes available for parking within the parking garage at the building if interested.
