Which R Shiny courses are available?

An online R Shiny course should meet your specific needs. That’s why we’ve developed several courses for every skill level:

  1. ProductioniZing Shiny – Learn everything about Shiny from A to Z! From building your first app to implementing best practices and professionalizing your work, this course includes over 80 lessons guiding you step by step through app development. It’s suitable for complete beginners and developers with some Shiny experience looking to build a stronger foundation.

  2. CustomiZing WidgetZ – Want to truly understand how Shiny works? This course dives into the technical aspects, like creating custom widgets with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and developing your own Shiny package. It’s an excellent follow-up to ProductioniZing Shiny or a great resource for experienced Shiny users seeking deeper knowledge.

  3. Mobile StructureZ – Designed for anyone looking to develop Shiny applications for mobile use. Learn how to use the latest version of shinyMobile, optimize your app for various devices, and publish it as a PWA or in the App Store. While basic Shiny knowledge is assumed, you don’t need to be an expert! Spoiler alert: you’ll learn exactly how shinyMobile was built. 

These courses are offered on the Athlyticz platform, a user-friendly online learning environment where R and Shiny are available via Virtual Machines. This means you can get started right away without installing any software. You’ll always have access to the right packages and can run all code effortlessly.
