Title: Automating updates to dashboards on Shiny Server

Date: Thursday, January 25th, 18:00 – 20:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Clinton Oyogo David is a data scientist with 7 years of experience currently working with Oxford Policy Management (OPM) under the Research and Evidence, data innovations team. Prior to joining OPM I was working at World Agroforestry Centre as a junior data scientist in the Spatial Data Science and Applied Learning Lab.

Description: In this workshop, we will talk about the configurations and set ups needed to have an automated update to R Shiny dashboards deployed on a shiny server. The talk will touch on GitHub webhooks, API (Django) and bash scripting. With the set-up in place one will not need to manually update the code on shiny server, a push event to github will be enough to have your changes to the code reflect on the dashboard in a matter of seconds.

Minimal registration fee: 20 euro (or 20 USD or 800 UAH)

If you choose to sponsor a student, all proceeds will also go directly to organisations working in Ukraine. You can either sponsor a particular student or you can leave it up to us so that we can allocate the sponsored place to students who have signed up for the waiting list.
