Learning how to build with Shiny

Introduction

Shiny is a tool for building web apps, using the R programming language.

Resources

RStudio's Shiny website is a good site to get the feel of. The Get Started page holds your hand, but you may want to jump into the Articles or Function Reference if you're looking for a speedy trial-and-error, results-first approach to learning to build your first few apps.

• Get Started

  • RStudio Education's Building Web Apps with Shiny is an interactive four-module course built with Shiny.

  • Shiny in Seven Lessons is a written tutorial by RStudio, on a series of seven pages. This is a good place to start.

  • https://mastering-shiny.org/ is a recent, comprehensive online book, by Hadley Wickham.

• Articles
  RStudio's readable-format documentation. This is what you should study.

• Function Reference
  Help pages for functions. Find syntax and options for functions here. Necessary when you use specific functions for the first time.
