I just completed 'Case Studies: Building Web Applications with Shiny' on DataCamp, led by Dean Attali. While I initially expected a simple review of the basics, I was impressed by the depth of the case studies.This course moved beyond simple plots and into the territory of Enterprise Tools. Key takeaways that I’m now ready to apply to client projects include:
Complex UI Architecture: Designing multi-tab layouts and sidebar structures that stay organized as the app grows.
Advanced Reactivity: Mastering isolate() and actionButton() to create 'snappy' user experiences that only calculate when needed.
Data Portability: Implementing fileInput() for user data uploads and downloadHandler() to export processed results—the backbone of automation tools.
Visual Customization: Integrating CSS and colourInput to move past 'default' designs into professional, branded interfaces.
Dean’s approach made complex concepts like reactive execution and file paths incredibly intuitive. I’m excited to start leveraging these skills to build more robust, interactive web apps for data-driven decision-making!
