Mastering Shiny is a book (and its accompanying source repository) by Hadley Wickham that teaches people how to build interactive web applications using Shiny in R. It starts from basics (your first app, UI components, reactivity) and progresses to more advanced topics (dynamic UIs, modules, testing, security, performance). It is intended to help data scientists, analysts, or R users who may not have deep experience in web technologies become expert Shiny developers. The source code is open, and the book is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.
