Week 7 Overview
Welcome to week 7!
This week is all about Shiny! This is one of my favorite topics in 558. R Shiny is a web framework that allows you to build interactive web applications and dashboards using the R programming language. It simplifies the process of creating web applications, especially for data analysis and visualization, by allowing you to work entirely in R without needing extensive knowledge of web development languages like HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.
