Shiny Server
Shiny Server Shiny Server is an open source back end program that makes a big difference. It builds a web server specifically designed to host Shiny apps. With Shiny Server you can host your apps in a controlled environment, like inside your organization, so your Shiny app (and whatever data it needs) will never leave your control. You can also use Shiny Server to make your apps available across the Internet when you choose. Shiny Server will host each app at its own web address and automatically start the app when a user visits the address. When the user [...]
Responsive HTML
Responsive HTML Responsive design is an approach to web design that makes your web content adapt to the different screen and window sizes of a variety of devices. For example, your content might be separated into different columns on desktop screens, because they are wide enough to accommodate that design. If you separate your content into multiple columns on a mobile device, it will be hard for users to read and interact with. Responsive design makes it possible to deliver multiple, separate layouts of your content and design to different devices depending on screen size. It’s not enough for [...]
React
React React is a JavaScript-based UI development library. Facebook and an open-source developer community run it. Although React is a library rather than a language, it is widely used in web development.

R
Introduction to R R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R. R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, …) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. The S language is [...]

Polybase
Polybase PolyBase enables your SQL Server instance to query data with T-SQL directly from SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata, MongoDB, Hadoop clusters, Cosmos DB, and S3-compatible object storage without separately installing client connection software. You can also use the generic ODBC connector to connect to additional providers using third-party ODBC drivers. PolyBase allows T-SQL queries to join the data from external sources to relational tables in an instance of SQL Server. A key use case for data virtualization with the PolyBase feature is to allow the data to stay in its original location and format. You can virtualize the external [...]
