Developer roles
Spotfire Statistics Services is designed for two types of developers: The R developer working in TERR or open-source R, and the client application developer, working in C# or Java.
- The R developer: This developer writes R functions, deploys the functions’ packages to the server, and then calls them on the server via the Function client using the APIs. Alternatively, the developer writes expressions and sends them to the server using the Expression client APIs. See R code for the server for more information.
- The Client Application developer (or systems integrator): This developer uses the APIs and documentation provided with Spotfire Statistics Services to design and develop customized desktop or web applications. These applications send R evaluation requests to the server, and then examine and store the results. See Java C# and URL APIs and Access Spotfire Statistics Services for more information about these two developer roles.
