{% comment %} HEADER

Edit the values in the block above to be appropriate for your workshop. If the value is not 'true', 'false', 'null', or a number, please use double quotation marks around the value, unless specified otherwise. And run 'make workshop-check' before committing to make sure that changes are good. {% endcomment %}

{% comment %} EVENTBRITE

This block includes the Eventbrite registration widget if 'eventbrite' has been set in the header. You can delete it if you are not using Eventbrite, or leave it in, since it will not be displayed if the 'eventbrite' field in the header is not set. {% endcomment %} {% if page.eventbrite %}

General Information

Shiny is an R package that makes it easy to build interactive web apps. Shiny apps are easy to write and don't require web development skills. This workshop will get you started building Shiny apps right away. Visit the Gallery for examples of interactive web apps built with Shiny.

Prerequisite: Software Carpentry's R for Reproducible Scientific Analysis, or R programming competence obtained otherwise.

To preview the workshop materials, see these written Shiny tutorials.

This workshop is open to those from neighboring institutions and is free of charge. Participants must attend in person at the Jackson Laboratory in either Bar Harbor ME or Farmington CT. Remote attendance will not be supported otherwise.

{% comment %} LOCATION

This block displays the address and links to maps showing directions if the latitude and longitude of the workshop have been set. You can use https://itouchmap.com/latlong.html to find the lat/long of an address. {% endcomment %} {% if page.latlng %}

Where: {{page.address}}. Get directions with OpenStreetMap or Google Maps.

{% endif %}

{% include sc/schedule.html %}

{% comment %} Collaborative Notes

If you want to use an Etherpad, go to

http://pad.carpentries.org/YYYY-MM-DD-site

where 'YYYY-MM-DD-site' is the identifier for your workshop, e.g., '2015-06-10-esu'. {% endcomment %} {% if page.collaborative_notes %}

We will use this collaborative document for chatting, taking notes, and sharing URLs and bits of code.

{% endif %}

{% comment %} SYLLABUS

Show what topics will be covered.

  1. If your workshop is R rather than Python, remove the comment around that section and put a comment around the Python section.
  2. Some workshops will delete SQL.
  3. Please make sure the list of topics is synchronized with what you intend to teach.
  4. You may need to move the div's with class="col-md-6" around inside the div's with class="row" to balance the multi-column layout.

This is one of the places where people frequently make mistakes, so please preview your site before committing, and make sure to run 'tools/check' as well. {% endcomment %}

{% comment %} SETUP

Delete irrelevant sections from the setup instructions. Each section is inside a 'div' without any classes to make the beginning and end easier to find.

This is the other place where people frequently make mistakes, so please preview your site before committing, and make sure to run 'tools/check' as well. {% endcomment %}

Setup

To participate in a {% if page.carpentry == "swc" %} Software Carpentry {% elsif page.carpentry == "dc" %} Data Carpentry {% elsif page.carpentry == "lc" %} Library Carpentry {% endif %} workshop, you will need access to the software described below. In addition, you will need an up-to-date web browser.

We maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors that may be useful on the Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page.

{% comment %} Start of 'R' section. {% endcomment %}

R

R is a programming language that is especially powerful for data exploration, visualization, and statistical analysis. To interact with R, we use RStudio.

Video Tutorial

Install R by downloading and running this .exe file from CRAN. Also, please install the RStudio IDE. Note that if you have separate user and admin accounts, you should run the installers as administrator (right-click on .exe file and select "Run as administrator" instead of double-clicking). Otherwise problems may occur later, for example when installing R packages.

Video Tutorial

Install R by downloading and running this .pkg file from CRAN. Also, please install the RStudio IDE.

You can download the binary files for your distribution from CRAN. Or you can use your package manager (e.g. for Debian/Ubuntu run sudo apt-get install r-base and for Fedora run sudo dnf install R). Also, please install the RStudio IDE.
