Building Web Mapping Applications with R and Shiny
Geospatial analysts interested in getting started with web app development using R and Shiny.
Students must have R and Shiny.
- Getting started with web mapping in Shiny
- Building data-driven apps
This 2.5 hour workshop will teach you the fundamentals of building interactive web mapping applications using R and Shiny, R’s powerful framework for app development. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the skills to create your own reactive mapping applications that include charts, custom design components, and more.
The first hour of the workshop will cover the fundamentals of web mapping with Shiny. You’ll learn how to set up and design a basic Shiny application; show a custom Leaflet map with a marker and a geocoder; and interact with your map using a variety of UI components.
The second hour will dive deeper into interactivity with Shiny and Leaflet. We will cover how to use observers and reactive components that respond to user behavior on the map; display custom map visualizations that interactively load US Census data; and link charts and other visualizations to your maps; The session will conclude with a brief primer on how to deploy and share your Shiny applications.
The last 30 minutes were a live Q&A session where we covered a variety of mapping-related questions, including how to build a dynamic app with a reverse geocoder.
What you’ll get:
- Unlimited access to the workshop recording and chat log for future use.
- A step-by-step annotated tutorial in Quarto format to help you build your knowledge.

This course made it less intimidating to switch from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro. So glad I attended.

I really enjoyed the Python/ArcGIS course. For me the right balance between detail and overview. Good work!

I thought the course was very organized. The style of presentation and the lesson format worked well together. It made the information easy to understand. -

Definitely got me "over the hump" of being able to grasp Python.

These courses are great. I am so pressed for time this is the only way I can acquire extra skills these days. Thank you Eric for all your hard work!

I have attended a number of instructor-led training courses offered by ESRI, which are great in their own right, but the Mastering the ArcGIS Server JavaScript API course gets much more in-depth than they often do. I really liked the recommended reading, they helped expand the terms being covered in lecture to concrete examples that could be related back to my work more directly instead of just having the lecture and exercises alone. I learned a lot andwill recommend this and other GeoSpatial Training courses to the GIS'ers I know. Thanks for putting this course together and offering it.

Really good course material. Very relevant subject matter.
Michael Philp, City of Springville, UT
Very informative and knowledgeable course. It help determine which direction I should take my further GIS and web programming skills.
