An IDE is, without a doubt, the face of a programming language. A well thought out IDE can be instrumental to the popularity of a programming language, especially one whose usage is primarily confined to certain circles like the scientific community. The perfect IDE makes a programming language more accessible for the average user by highlighting syntax and pointing out errors before compilation. RStudio was created with these things in mind and more. It has become the definitive IDE for anyone looking to benefit from the rich libraries and powerful capabilities of the R language. The authors of this book take great pains to take readers through the features of the IDE, from how to accomplish mundane tasks to unlocking the vast potential of the R language. The wealth of information in this book is truly staggering, for it does not only deal with RStudio. Powerful interactive documents and dashboards are created using Shiny, a web framework for R that will excite beginners and seasoned users of R with its ease of use and professional look of the final result. The authors delve into the integration of RStudio with Git and Github, thus giving readers the recipe to develop solutions in collaboration with a team of developers anywhere in the world. Finally, the authors empower readers with knowledge of managing the RStudio server on online hosting services like AWS and present tips to stay up to date in the world of R. With step by step screenshots on just about every page, this book warrants a position on any serious R user's bookshelf.

Mastering RStudio – Develop, Communicate, and Collaborate with R is probably the best book I’ve seen to date covering RStudio. This is simply my opinion, but I loved the diverse mix of topics covered. For example, I’m itching to try out some of the RShiny examples in Chapters 5 & 6. Also, we’re increasingly using Git / GitHub at work; I’m hoping this book will give me some ideas on this front. I was pleasantly surprised by Mastering RStudio – I got a lot more than simply a book on using RStudio!

Tons of information and in-depth walk-throughs on how to create and present calculated data sets using all sorts of statistical analysis. I love that it helps me generate interactive websites and reports that look good. What's an analysis worth if you don't know how to present your findings? Don't get me wrong, this book is not all about how to present your findings, There are heaps of analysis tools to use which are powerful, but having the ability to generate more than an in-application graph that I have to use my own copy-paste techniques is a valuable asset.

Actually, the title of the book is misleading...most of the material has to do with R and DevOps and running things, not necessarily in RStudio. But it is a welcome bait-and-switch for the reader, since there is useful starting material inside. The introductions to markdown, Shiny, interactive visualizations and dashboards are nice, as well as information on how to get things running on AWS. However, I'm afraid that the title might steer readers away from this book. RStudio is merely a front end tool into the worlds of R, git, and others. Much of the chapters don't need to even refer to RStudio, since all the action happens in different environments. This book might have been better titled "Reporting, Visualization, and Collaboration using R and Friends".I actually like this book, though I don't love it. Pointers to further reading would make it a more complete experience. Also, there's not much to "Master" in RStudio -- it's really an introduction to other tools that can support the analyst, based in the R ecosystem. It is also already dated, since it doesn't incorporate the newer advances with RStudio Add-ins. It also ignores the option of having templates for rmarkdown documents that can help with a consistent look and feel of reports.
