Workshop: Friday February 6. 1:00 - 3:00 pm PT
In-Person, 124 Mulford Hall, UC Berkeley

R is a powerful programming environment for data analysis and decision support, however it is not widely known among the general public. The R Shiny package enables R users to turn their data analysis code into web applications with user-friendly interfaces that are relatively easy to deploy. 

This hands-on, in-person workshop will provide an introduction to Shiny including the principles of reactive programming, fundamentals of UI design, and deployment options. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to take a simple, place-based decision support model and turn it into a Shiny web app.
