Our Verdict
The R Shiny Interactive Web Apps course serves as an adequate introduction to creating data visualization web apps with R and Shiny. While there are areas for improvement, such as more detailed explanations of certain functions and concepts, as well as hands-on practice throughout the course, the practical examples provided offer a solid foundation for learners. Additionally, the instructor points to external resources that can aid in diving deeper into specific topics. However, be prepared for limited guidance on structuring complex projects or creating advanced dashboards, along with some challenges understanding sections of the course due to the instructor's pronunciation issues. Overall, this course offers valuable insights for those new to Shiny and looking to build basic web apps for data visualization purposes.
