Interactive Visualisation in R
Who is this course for?
R users who want their audiences to interact and explore their data through interactive visualisations.
A working knowledge of R is assumed.
What will I learn?
This course will introduce two technologies that will fundamentally change your use of R for data presentation on the web: htmlwidgets and Shiny. The first half of the course introduces RMarkdown and htmlwidgets, demonstrating how reports with interactive tables, maps and charts can be written and published to the web using RStudio. The second half of the course introduces the basics of Shiny, a web framework for creating sophisticated interactive applications using only the R language.
Htmlwidgets and Shiny are thoroughly underused in the R community. This course will show you it is almost trivial to build interactive charts/maps/data tables with htmlwidgets and only slightly trickier to build sophisticated interactive applications with Shiny.
