Introduction to R Shiny
Online, 2-3 March
 
 
 
Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/shiny
 
OVERVIEW
 
Strictly speaking, Shiny is an R package nevertheless it’s more than that, it’s a framework that allows R users to develop advanced reactive web applications with a strict minimum of web development knowledge. Why is it a framework? because you’ll find hundreds of packages extending Shiny to perform complex processes and this number is growing daily. In order to fully leverage Shiny capabilities, one need to understand its core concepts. We’ll dig in details into these concepts so that at the end of the workshop you’ll feel comfortable developing web applications directly from R.
 
 
TARGET AUDIENCE
This workshop is targeting a broad audience: Data Analysts, Data Scientists, Researchers, Biologists, Economists, among others. They all share something in common, the value added that will be generated throughout the implementation of a web application.
 
 
PREREQUISITES
A basic proficiency in R is required
 
Some knowledge of dplyr and ggplot2 would be beneficial as we’ll use them to build our applications
 
Finally, we’ll work within the RStudio IDE (Integrated Development Environment), as such a basic      familiarity is preferable.
 
No knowledge of HTML, CSS or JavaScript in required.
 
 
Tools
The following tools need to be installed beforehand:
 
R: Available at [ https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/ ]( https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/ ). Note that it’s ok if you don’t have the latest version.

Tidyverse: same here with packages(“tidyverse”)

A modern web browser: Preferably Google Chrome.
