When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Learners will be able to design, build, and deploy a fully functional investment application using R Shiny. By the end of this course, learners will understand how to structure Shiny applications, create interactive user interfaces, implement reactive server logic, and apply secure user authentication. They will also develop the ability to visualize investment data, manage application parameters, and deploy Shiny apps for real-world access.

This hands-on, project-based course guides learners through the complete lifecycle of an R Shiny investment app—from initial setup and UI design to server-side development, data visualization, and deployment. Rather than focusing on isolated concepts, the course emphasizes practical implementation through a cohesive case study, allowing learners to apply skills in a realistic context. Learners benefit by gaining experience with real-world Shiny workflows, improving their ability to build scalable, user-friendly applications. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end approach: learners do not just learn Shiny concepts, they implement them in a production-style project that includes authentication, reactivity, and deployment. This course is ideal for learners seeking to strengthen their applied R Shiny skills through practical, job-relevant experience.

Module details
