Episode 1: Shiny Development - Past and Future

By The Shiny Dev Series Team

May 3, 2019

In this joint production with RStudio Community, I had the pleasure of discussing the journey of Shiny and where it is headed in the future with RStudio software engineer Winston Chang! We discuss the key events that triggered their efforts to make Shiny a production-ready framework, how principles of software design are invaluable for creating complex applications, and exciting plans for revamping the user interface and new integrations. If you would like to provide feedback or ask questions, please visit the dedicated thread on the RStudio Community portal!
