He also discusses the functionality of shiny.fluent and Appsilon's shiny.react, which enables the porting of React-based components and UI libraries, like Microsoft’s Fluent. Discover how UI factors into the success of Shiny projects and the power of having a beautiful, enterprise-grade look and a rich set of components without losing Shiny’s quick development speed.  <p style="text-align: center;">What is React: 1:33 What is Fluent: 2:28 Why use Shiny: 4:02 Installation: 6:00 Resources: 6:35 Live Coding - Sales Demo App: 9:15 Hello World!: 9:48 Show Data in a Table: 11:45 Add a Simple Input: 19:55 Improve Visuals With Cards: 25:10 Use Grid Layout: 31:00 Add Another Filter: 35:10 Add a Bar Chart: 38:25 Q&A: 42:20</p> We encourage you to check out the <a href="https://appsilon.github.io/shiny.fluent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shiny.fluent</a> and <a href="https://github.com/Appsilon/shiny.react" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shiny.react</a> packages on our <a href="https://github.com/Appsilon" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Github</a>.
