Shiny makes it easy to build interactive, web-deployed applications using R. Dr Louise Ord will be running a hands-on R Shiny workshop to take you through all you need to begin developing your own Shiny dashboards and visualisations. In this workshop, you will be given example code that can be used as a template for your own application development. You will be taught the key aspects of reactive programming, how to create interactivity with built-in control widgets and external R and JavaScript tools, and methods for fully customising the design and appearance of your Shiny dashboards and visualisations.
Prerequisites: Basic programming skills. A basic understanding of R would be useful but is not necessary.
