A gRadual Intro to Shiny

Curious about Shiny, but not sure where to start? This hands-on workshop is designed to ease you in gradually.

In A gRadual Intro to Shiny, Ted Laderas will walk through the basics of building interactive web applications in R using Shiny, with an emphasis on understanding concepts step by step rather than jumping straight into complex apps. We’ll start from simple ideas and build up carefully, so you can see how each piece fits together.

This workshop is ideal for:
- R users who are new to Shiny
- People who have tried Shiny before but felt overwhelmed
- Anyone interested in turning analyses into interactive tools

You’ll learn:

- What Shiny is and how it works
- How UI and server components fit together
- How reactivity works (without the panic)
- How to build and modify a simple Shiny app

No prior Shiny experience is required, but some familiarity with R will be helpful. The session will include live demos, examples, and plenty of time to ask questions.

Come for the code, stay for the “aha!” moments, and leave with a solid foundation for building your own Shiny apps.
