to do before WNAR

• set up rstudio cloud server
• add intro rstudio cloud
• intro to functions ("function review") in R between 1.1 and 1.2
• in 2.1 (app 1) and app2, only have first visualization (remove # 6 in 3.2)
• add list of all types of UI elements (selectInput, checkboxInput) somewhere in 2
• add list of render_* and explain renderPlot() specifically
• fix figure app2 "workflow of reactives" change to outputPlot() in UI, change myData() to simple ggplot() example
• after app2 change to plotly, then observe
• observe can be extra
• add a section about shinyapps.io (info from the website, all in one place)
• expand debugging section, try and add more detail; show example of an app and where we'd add print statements, how to use browser or options(shiny.error = browser) rstudio's debugging
• for practice: add another plot, or another control
• at the end, point to examples in the gallery

JM will do intro to functions, add in UI elements and render* stuff + explaining

TL will add examples from gallery, overhaul debugging guide

will figure out shinyapps.io stuff soon

@jminnier - I restructured the chapters in docs/. So it should be safe to fork/branch.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to build the bookdown book in the docs directory. I may have to move the md chapters out into their own directory eventually.

I updated some things, I think this stuff is still left to do?

• [ ] set up rstudio cloud server
• [ ] add intro rstudio cloud
• [ ] fix figure app2 "workflow of reactives" change to outputPlot() in UI, change myData() to simple ggplot() example
• [ ] expand debugging section, try and add more detail; show example of an app and where we'd add print statements, how to use browser or options(shiny.error = browser) rstudio's debugging for practice: add another plot, or another control
