9 Web Applications

In this final chapter of our curriculum, we will focus on providing some final tools to empower you in your urban systems analysis, particularly related to more sophisticated web-based interactions. First, we’ll introduce Shiny, which is the go-to method for creating web applications with R code, which are more interactive alternatives to the knitted documents you’ve made thus far. Then we’ll demonstrate more sophisticated techniques for scraping data off websites, beyond the straightforward reading of data we’ve experienced thus far.
