Exam

This workshop can be validated with an exam. If you pass this exam, we will send you a Shiny Developer certification.

How to apply? Once the workshop is finished, you will have one month to build a Shiny application that follows all the practices from this training. You’ll then put this application online (at least available to us), and share the source code. We will then set up a 30 minutes call for you to present us your application.

Who is this training for?

We expect the attendees to be at least familiar with {shiny}, i.e. to either have built one or more application(s) or to have collaborated on one or more {shiny} application(s). Attendees should also know the basics of package development, even if we will briefly cover packages on the first day.

Requirements:

Fees

The full training is $4000 (3600€) for the 5 days.

Two extra tickets will be dedicated for attendees from under-represented groups and/or with financial difficulties. If you consider you are eligible, do not hesitate to specify it in the form below. We will get back to you with more information about the application process.
