R Shiny app for the beginners
July 26, 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Title: “R Shiny app for the beginners”
Speaker: Nabil Awan, Assistant Professor (on leave), ISRT, DU and PhD candidate at the University of Pittsburgh, USA.
Date & Time: Sunday, July 26, at 7.30PM
Suumary: R Shiny app is getting increasingly popular in both industry and academia. One reason is the automation that many companies are focusing on nowadays. Almost all grants in academia have a ‘technology component’ these days that often requires creating an interactive dashboard. There are competitors like Power BI, Tableau dashboard, etc. but those can also be integrated with R. Moreover, using R allows a range of statistical methods that are not readily available in other software. While there are so many free materials available online to learn the R Shiny app, some of us might have never gotten the time and opportunity to learn it. This session will take a hands-on DIY approach and help the participants create and host their first simple R Shiny app on the spot. We will emphasize explaining the ‘structure’ of the app so that the participants are able to understand the more complex apps available online. This session will also direct the participants to resources where they can learn more.
