Episode 3: {googleAnalyticsR} and Linking Shiny to Complex APIs
How Shiny is a first-class citizen in {googleAnalyticsR} and beyond!
In this webinar originally broadcast live in partnership with RStudio Community, Mark Edmondson from IIH Nordic joins us to discuss how he incorporated Shiny components such as modules with {googleAnalyticsR} and his other excellent packages. We dive in to some of the technical challenges he had to overcome to provide a clean interface to many Google APIs, the value of open-source contributions to both his work and personal projects, and much more. If you would like to continue the discussion please visit the dedicated thread at the RStudio Community!
