R Shiny workshop

Hello R Ladies!!

It's time for our third event and this one's special! This event will be led by a guest, Dr. Suthira Owlarn, coming all the way from the MPI for Molecular Biology in Muenster. Suthira will be teaching us how to use R Shiny, a way to build interactive web applications using R.

Shiny is a popular framework for building R-powered interactive web apps and dashboards – and a great way to present your data/analyses to the world! Its ease-of-use makes it beginner-friendly, while its flexibility and extendibility allow more advanced programmers to make use of various skills (e.g. javascript, test-writing).

Based on the initial R Ladies Nijmegen survey, the current plan for the workshop assumes fundamental R skills, but no previous shiny experience. It’ll be a presentation with short exercises, followed by a longer hands-on session and Q&A.

You can find a more general R concepts refresher to make sure you’re ready for the workshop here: https://github.com/sowla/2019-shiny-intro-workshop-Nijmegen-RLadies

About the speaker: Suthira Owlarn is a biologist at the Max Planck Institute in Münster. After finishing her PhD, she decided to learn a little R and immediately fell in love! Soon, she waved goodbye to the bench and is now having fun diving into the world of data analysis, exploring R packages and building shiny apps.

REQUIREMENTS
Don't forget to bring your (fully charged!) laptop with R Studio installed and with the 'shiny' package.
