Interactive Plotting And Web Dashboards

Build and publish interactive visualizations

Course details :

Building on the foundation from previous classes, we will create a series of interactive plots and gadgets that renders multiple visualization elements based on the user’s input. This is the final workshop leading up to the data visualization capstone project.

The 4-day course follows our learn-by-building approach, in that students are tasked to reproduce a series of plots applying what they’ve learned. It covers an exhaustive list of techniques that add interactivity to an R document and set the stage for the data science capstone project.

This workshop is recommended for:

The Interactive Plotting and Web Dashboard workshop is an intermediate-level programming workshop best suited to R programmers that are taking their first steps into data science and data visualization.

Students are assumed to have a working knowledge of R and have completed the necessary pre-requisites. Consider taking the pre-requisite course or a beginner-level course instead if you have no prior programming experience or statistics knowledge.

Past Workshops in this Series:

Students work through tons of real-life examples using sample datasets donated by our team of mentors and corporate partners. We believe in a learn-by-building approach, and we employ instructors who are uncompromisingly passionate about your growth and education.

Part of the Data Visualization Specialization

This workshop is part of the Data Visualization specialization track offered by Algoritma Data Science Academy. Participants are rewarded with a certificate of completion upon passing criteria, and are encouraged to advance further in the respective data science specialization.
