Build Interactive Data Apps with R Shiny

Learners will build foundational skills to design, develop, and deploy interactive data visualization applications using R Shiny. By completing this course, learners will be able to explain the core architecture of Shiny applications, construct user interfaces with inputs and layout elements, and implement reactive server logic to generate dynamic outputs. The course equips learners with practical knowledge to transform R analyses into engaging web-based applications without requiring prior web development experience. This course benefits data analysts, statisticians, and R users who want to communicate insights more effectively through interactive dashboards and applications. Learners gain hands-on exposure to Shiny’s UI and server components, learn how data and resources are integrated, and understand how user interactions drive reactive outputs. These skills enable learners to enhance reporting workflows, support data-driven decision-making, and present results in a more accessible and interactive format. What makes this course unique is its step-by-step, fundamentals-first approach. Rather than focusing on advanced frameworks or complex design patterns, the course emphasizes conceptual clarity and practical implementation, allowing learners to build confidence while developing fully functional Shiny applications from the ground up
