Summary

In this chapter, you acquired a general knowledge of useful packages intended to process data. This is particularly useful while creating web applications in Shiny because it will make a difference to traditional web application software; in R, if you can code it, you can display the data in any way you want. To accomplish this, a good background in data processing is essential.

Chapter 4, Shiny Structure – Reactivity Concepts, provides a general explanation of the fundamentals of Shiny, especially the concept of reactivity.
