The R programming language has seen the integration of many languages; C, C++, Python, to name a few, can be seamlessly embedded into R so one can conveniently call code written in other languages from the R console. Little known to many, R works just as well with JavaScript—this book delves into the various ways both languages can work together.

John Coene is an well-known R and JavaScript developer. He recently wrote a book on JavaScript for R users, of which he published an online version free to access here.

The book is definitely worth your while if you want to better learn how to develop front-end applications (in JavaScript) on top of your statistical R programs. Think of better understanding, and building, yourself Shiny modules or advanced data visualizations integrated right into webpages.

A nice step on your development path towards becoming a full stack developer by combining R and JavaScript!
