Abstract

Ever take a look at that beautiful data visualization you’ve worked so hard on and think, “How awesome would it be if my audience could interact with my data??” If so, building a shiny app might be just what you’re looking for. {shiny} allows you to build interactive web pages and dashboards from R. In this workshop, we’ll learn how to transform your data into reactive outputs that you can share via a web browser. Together, we’ll be build a shiny app that looks something like this.
