Hi,

Although the website above should say it all, here is how I like to think about what the purpose of Shiny is:

Shiny provides a user interface (in the form of a web page) to your R code so that other people can run it without having to actually understand or run your code themselves. Users provide input through the web-interface with things like buttons, textboxes, sliders etc and Shiny will convert them into values to be used in your R code and run the relevant pieces of code. If your code then generates any output, Shiny can push it back to the web interface and display the result (table, plot, text, ...) in a nice format.

Hope this helps,
PJ
