aggregate: Shiny workshop

Aggregate meetup No. 17!

shiny is a popular web application framework for making interactive visualizations and dashboards, allowing R users to share their analyses in an interactive format with minimal web programming expertise. In this workshop, we will produce a simple data exploration dashboard with tooltips using the shiny, ggplot2 and flexDashboard packages. I will introduce the basic concepts behind programming a shiny application, as well as some useful design patterns (reactives, tooltips, observe/update/isolate). Basic familiarity with R programming concepts and `ggplot2` are suggested

We will not have pizza this time, but we will have some drinks, and perhaps some light snacks.

Agenda:

• This aggregate will be a bit different from the others. pdxrlang member Ted Laderas (http://laderast.github.io/ - https://github.com/laderast) will give a workshop on using Shiny. More details to come!

• Bring your computer!

• Time: 630pm - 8pm

Doors open about 615 - DON'T SHOW UP BEFORE 615 - we'll start at 630. Also, DO NOT SHOW UP BEFORE 615, one more time, DO NOT SHOW UP BEFORE 615. Repeat after me: DO NOT SHOW UP BEFORE 615. Enter on the 8th Ave. entrance where there's gates - The gates may be locked, but a security person will let you in. If you have any trouble message me in the meetup app, or on Twitter at @pdxrlang or @sckottie
