Andrew Couch has a nice video about deploying a shiny app using docker. He goes from the very basics, that asume no knowledge of docker whatsoever, which is the position of many R users like myself. I’ve been working in some shiny app lately, and although I’ve never needed docker so far, I decided to start learning it because I can already foresee the future when it won’t be the case.
Andrew Couch tiene un video genial sobre como poner una aplicación shiny en docker. El video está en inglés, pero bien vale la pena. Va desde lo más básico, sin asumir ningún conocimiento de docker, lo cual es la situación de muchos usuarios de R como yo mismo. Últimamente he estado trabajando en unas aplicaciones Shiny y a pesar de que nunca he necesitado de Docker, ya puedo preveer el momento en que esto cambiará, por lo que decidí comenzar a aprender como usarlo.
A few weeks ago I opened an account on Digital Ocean to start my own cloud server. Not long after that I took a workshop on Shiny and, although it was too technical with nothing new for me, I learn a couple of things unrelated to R. The speaker was talking about the importance of making your portfolio showing your apps instead of sharing the link to your code as most of us do.
A couple of years ago I was interested in the efficiency of R when it comes to time processing and management of memory and I read a few blog posts about this topic, particularly pointing at the fact that R hasn’t been designed to be a very efficient language, especially when it comes to big data processing, and this could be its doom at some point in the future.

Emacs as IDE for R
Recently I have seen many posts about which IDE for R people prefer, with minimalists list of options, usually of size 2: R Studio and VS Code. I guess that some people forget, or many don't even know about two of the most powerful text editors that have been helping developers for a few decades.

My first Golem app
About A few days ago I finished reading the book Engineering Production-Grade Shiny Apps by Colin Fay, Sebastien Rochette, Vincent Guyader and Cervan Girard. It was an easy read so, I decided to move forward and create my first shiny app with golem. But before doing that I wanted to read some comments or opinions about it and I realized that there is not so much about it outside of the golem team.

Object Oriented Programming in R: S3
This post is part of the series maps-app.
You can also find the current state of the project under my GitHub repo mapic.
Scope of this post We are creating maps of data showing changes over a span of time for different countries and pointing at all kinds of cities. That basically means that we need to map any region of the world with R.
