Episode 20 of the Shiny Developer series is here! As someone who has authored many production grade Shiny applications, I have come to realize that sophisticated backend functionality is not the only area one needs to address, it is also the end-user experience and how the application is presented. I am thrilled to welcome back David Granjon to the Shiny Developer Series to discuss the journey and key topics addressed in his brand-new textbook Outstanding User Interfaces with Shiny! Plus David leads us through a comprehensive demonstration of amazing new capabilities of the awesome bs4Dash package, part of the RinteRface project. I hope you enjoy this episode!
