Introduction to Shiny

Date and time: Monday 6th September 2021, 2pm-5pm BST

Overview

As data scientists, we can gain great insight from our analysis but to have impact we need to share the results of that analysis. For R users one of the simplest ways to do that is through Shiny, a web development framework that allows us the power of interactive web applications combined with the power of R, all without leaving a language we are comfortable with. This workshop will help you to understand the building blocks of Shiny and attendees will leave able to create simple applications.
