-- Shiny is a web application framework for R and is quite different from R, syntactically
- - In 2014, shiny also did not have all of the features it has today
-- Some of the usual R programming headaches did come up such as `stringsAsFactors = FALSE`

+- [Google Summer of Code (GSoC)](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) is a global program for undergraduates and graduate students to get funding from **Google** to work on an open source project for the Summer!
 - What it provides:
  - Opportunity to gain more programming skills
  - Interface with the open source community
  - [Archival hosting](https://www.google-melange.com/archive/gsoc/2015/orgs/rproject/projects/jasdumas.html) of your abstract and code
  - Nobody talks about this heavily, but it does get you a *lifetime referral* for positions at Google!
