I'm looking to create a static dashboard viewable in a web browser. And I'd like to create something like what Stephen Few does in his book Information Dashboard Design. (see example at bottom)
If grid can do this easily enough, do you know of any good resources for learning how to us it? I've read the manual but I'm not finding it too helpful. I've seen the LearnR blog's ggplot2 sales dashboard (it uses grid) and I'm having trouble understanding the grid and layout part of things.

Shiny enables R users to create incredible apps, interactive maps, and dashboards. And you don't need advanced web dev skills to build it!
You may notice that we sometimes reference 'ggplot2' and sometimes 'ggplot'. To clarify, 'ggplot2' is the name of the most recent version of the package. However, any time we call the function itself, it's just called 'ggplot'.
The function geom_point() adds a layer of points to your plot, which creates a scatterplot. ggplot2 comes with many geom functions that each add a different type of layer to a plot.
We use the function ggplot() to produce the plots when using the package. Therefore, ggplot() is the command, and the whole package is called ggplot2. It is a part of the R tidyverse, an ecosystem of packages designed with common APIs. It is the most widely used alternative to base R graphics.
See http://learnr.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/ggplot2-sales-dashboard/ for an example with code.
