    Nick, this was a helpful and insightful post. I'm new to R and working with it in VS/RTVS, would Shiny be the mechanism by which you surface your data in R? If so would Shiny be akin to htmlwidgets? Id like to follow along and re create this in R, I assume your just assembling the data set as a data frame and surfacing through the app, if not any guidance would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your efforts and contribution to this topic

    Hi Vinnie,

    You're absolutely right - Shiny, like HTMLWidgets, is just a presentation layer. An awesome presentation layer! The actual dataset is on the UCI Machine Learning repository (https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Pittsburgh+Bridges), and if you can tolerate my entirely undocumented code, check out my GitHub (https://github.com/nickb-/SQLUserGroup/tree/master/PatternRecognition_PittsburghBridges) 🙂
