Trade Review
"ThinkR’s book is a gradual and pleasant invitation to the production-ready shiny apps world. It focuses on the unfortunately too often forgotten general principles necessary to be successful in this quest, before exposing a comprehensive and robust workflow powered by the {golem} package. This books fills the not yet covered gap between shiny app development and deployment in such a thrilling way that it may be read in one sitting. Readers will appreciate the number of exclusive references like {shinypsum}, {gargoyle}, {crrry} and {dockerfiler} that will definitely help them to reach the production-ready graal. In the industry world, where processes robustness is a key toward productivity, this book will indubitably have a tremendous impact."
