The first presentation will be in a 'hands-on workshop' mode. A mote from the presenter:
The packages that need to be installed before the session are: devtools,htmlwidgets,shiny. It's also better to have installed Chrome (and Rstudio, ça va sans dire!). I uploaded the files I am going to use at: https://github.com/GiovanninoPaneEvino/meetup_december
[/Update]
Two great Shiny presentations during the last meetup in 2016.
Giovanni Lotti will give us a 30 minutes long, hands-on (bring your own laptop) introduction to htmlwidgets. Title of his talk is 'How to create your own reactive widgets for Shiny'.
and Marek Rogala will speak about Making your Shiny apps awesome.
