Interactive Web-Based Data Visualization (Chapman & Hall)
Friday, 14 February 2020

This richly illustrated book that covers R, plotly, and shiny focuses on the process of programming interactive web graphics for multidimensional data analysis. Carson Sievert writes for the data analyst who wants to leverage the capabilities of interactive web graphics without having to learn web programming. Many R code examples illustrate how to tap the extensive functionality of these tools to enhance the presentation and exploration of data, and how to use these concepts and tools to generate more informative, engaging, and reproducible interactive graphics using free and open source software.
