A data product is the production output from a statistical analysis. Data products automate complex analysis tasks or use technology to expand the utility of a data informed model, algorithm or inference. This course covers the basics of creating data products using Shiny, R packages, and interactive graphics. The course will focus on the statistical fundamentals of creating a data product that can be used to tell a story about data to a mass audience.
In this overview module, we'll go over some information and resources to help you get started and succeed in the course.

It is a very good course. There's quite some work, but the content isn't hard. Make sure you update your RStudio for all the features to work correctly
