It provides your users the power and sophistication of R with a friendly\, no-code interface\, custom designed to your purpose.\n\ nThis one-day workshop is designed for participants who already have exper ience developing basic R Shiny applications and are ready to take their sk ills to the next level. Through a combination of practical hands-on\, exam ples and best practices\, you will learn how to create more robust\, scala ble\, efficient and maintainable applications.\n\nThis workshop assumes th at you have already used shiny and are able to build a simple Shiny app an d will expand on this knowledge in order to allow you to build robust\, ef ficient\, and powerful apps.\n\nWe will begin with a brief refresher on ke y Shiny concepts before exploring a range of advanced topics. These includ e interactive reporting with R Markdown and parameterized reports\, dashbo ard development\, advanced user interface customization\, reactive program ming techniques\, and the use of modules to structure complex applications . The course will also cover common development challenges\, troubleshooti ng strategies\, and practical tips to improve the performance\, usability\ , and reliability of your Shiny apps.\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, you will have the knowledge and confidence to design and develop professional- grade R Shiny applications that are both powerful and easy to use.\n\nIt w ill begin with a short reminder of some important features of Shiny before discussing and implementing more advanced features. We will cover in part icular interactivity options in R (including R markdown documents with Shi ny components\, parameterized reports\, and dashboards)\, user interface a nd layout options that allow you to customize the appearance of your app\, advanced reactivity programming\, as well as ways to build complex apps u sing modules. We will also discuss many tips and tricks to improve your Sh iny apps\, as well as ways to troubleshoot your apps.\n\n## Audience\n\nTh is course is designed for PhD students\, postdoctoral and other researcher s in the life sciences from both academia and industry who are ready to ta ke their skills to the next level to develop R Shiny applications.\n\n## L earning outcomes\n\nAt the end of the course\, the participants should be able to:\n* **Build** and **deploy** complex Shiny apps\n* **Apply** modul es to make a complex app easier to develop and maintain\n* **Customize** t he appearance of your Shiny apps\n* **Employ** advanced features of Shiny\ n\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n### Knowledge / competencies\n\nThis course is de signed for advanced R programmers.\n\nParticipants should have experience in programming in R Shiny and R\, equivalent to at least the combination o f the SIB courses ['Introduction to R Shiny'](https://www.sib.swiss/traini ng/course/SHINY)\, '[First steps with R in Life Sciences](https://www.sib .swiss/training/course/FSWRR)' and '[Data Visualisation with R](https://ww w.sib.swiss/training/course/DATVS)'. **Before registering**\, test your R skills with the quiz [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIye uabd_ZOWXgI1MWHapmaOMu20L9ESkLDZiWnpmkpujyOg/viewform).\n\nThis course is part of the [XXX + link(s) learning path(s).
