Build Simple and Scalable Apps with Shiny
Gordon Shotwell, Tracy Teal

This talk explores the intuitive algorithm behind Shiny for Python and shows how it allows you to scale your apps from prototype to product. Shiny infers a reactive computation graph from your application and uses this graph to efficiently re-render components. This eliminates the need for data caching, state management, or callback functions which lets you build scalable applications quickly.
