DESCRIPTION:# Overview\n[Shiny](https://shiny.posit.co/) is an open-source 
 R package that allows building interactive web applications from R\, and w
 ithout knowledge of web-development\, enabling data scientists to make the
 ir data or analysis interactively explorable and accessible to colleagues\
 , end-users\, and/or for publication.\n\nIn this 1-day course\, we will in
 troduce the R Shiny framework and equip R programmers with the basic tools
  to build and deploy their own web apps.\n\n# Audience\nThis course is des
 igned for PhD students\, postdoctoral and other researchers in the life sc
 iences from both academia and industry who wish to develop an interactive 
 web application to communicate their data or analysis to other non-program
 mers.\n\n# Learning outcomes\nAt the end of the course\, the participants 
 are expected to:\n* describe Shiny framework structure: server and user in
 terface \n* create their own Shiny applications\n* edit existing Shiny app
 lications available  in the Gallery\n* use various built-in input widgets\
 n* use R scripts and data embedded in Shiny web application\n* illustrate 
 reactive expressions\n* share Shiny applications and learn different deplo
 yment strategies\n\n\n# Prerequisites\n#### Knowledge / competencies\nThis
  course is designed for advanced R programmers. Participants should have e
 xperience in programming in R (knowledge of functions and loops in R)\, eq
 uivalent to at least the combination of the SIB courses '[First steps with
  R  in Life Sciences](https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/FSWRR)' and '[
 Data Visualisation with R](https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/DATVS)'.
