    Shiny is well suited where an organisation is looking to empower their analysts to minimise time spent on repetitive analysis by deploying repeatable analytical pipelines, but also looking for them to add greater value to the organisation by utilising more advanced analytical techniques. Ideally it is well suited where IT are on board and supportive of some of the more advanced features such as deploying R Shiny dashboards.

    The IDE Python IDLE is a good place to start as it helps you become familiar with the way Python works and understand its syntax.
    This IDE allows you to configure the environment, font, size, colors, .....
    It also looks like any simple text editor for any operating system, I work with Windows or Linux interchangeably, and you don't have to learn to use the IDE before programming.
    Once the IDE is executed you can start programming directly in it.

    Python IDLE support is what the community can give you. As it is free software, it does not have support provided by the manufacturer or by third-parties.
    In any case, for most of the problems that normal users can find, the solution, or alternatives, can be found quickly online.
    As this IDE is made in Python, the support is the same group of Python developers.

    It's easy to set up and run quick analysis in Python IDLE on my local machine. The output is direct and easy to read. But sometimes I prefer Jupyter Notebook when the datasets are large, since it would take too long to run on my local machine. It is easier to run Jupyter Notebook on my cloud desktop

    • In a short time, we were able to develop several ML models for various teams to make accurate decisions.
    • Beginners can easily understand and adapt to GUI.
    • We could automate several manual validation tasks and so could reduce human intervention.

    • We saw a good involvement to researchers when showing their models in shiny.
    • We can have a quicker review from the user when the model is in production.
    • False positives can be found easily and they help the retraining of the model.
