The Story Behind This Bundle
Built by the People Who Build the Tools
This is not a collection of tutorials. AthlyticZ funded the rebuild of shinyMobile v2 as part of our open source initiative. Veerle Eeftink - van Leemput co-developed it alongside its creator, Dr. David Granjon — author of Outstanding User Interfaces with Shiny and Lead Shiny engineer at cynkra.
Every lesson reflects architectural decisions the actual developers made. You are learning from the source — not secondhand.
The three courses together form the complete Shiny engineering pipeline: build production apps, design custom widgets, and ship native-like mobile experiences. Employers care about engineers who can do all three.
AthlyticZ proudly funded the rebuild of shinyMobile v2 to advance the Shiny ecosystem for mobile development.

Career Milestone
You Can Build and Deploy Any Production Shiny App
After Course 1, you are a production Shiny developer. You can architect modular apps, handle authentication, optimize performance, write end-to-end tests, and deploy to Posit Connect or Docker. This alone qualifies you for Shiny engineer roles at $90K-$140K.
$90K-$140K
Shiny Developer / Engineer
$100K-$150K
Senior R Developer
Course 1 Complete. You Build Production Apps.
But the developers who stand out? They design the components everyone else uses. Course 2 is where you go deeper.
Master the R↔JavaScript bridge: HTML dependencies, input/output bindings, events, npm bundling, and htmlwidgets. Build custom components from scratch, not just use them. Guest expert: Dr. David Granjon, author of Outstanding User Interfaces with Shiny.

Career Differentiator
R Developers Who Speak JavaScript Are Rare and Valuable
The R↔JS bridge is the single most valuable skill gap in the Shiny ecosystem. Developers who can build custom inputs, outputs, and htmlwidgets from scratch — and package them for reuse — are the ones building the next generation of enterprise Shiny applications. This is the skill that gets you promoted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying all three courses individually costs $3,447. The bundle is $2,997 — a saving of $450. You also get cloud VM access and a unified learning path designed to be taken in order.
Strongly recommended. ProductioniZing Shiny Apps builds your production foundation. CustomiZing WidgetZ goes deeper into the UI layer. Mobile StructureZ applies everything to mobile deployment. Each course assumes knowledge from the previous one.
Intermediate R and basic Shiny experience. If you have built at least one Shiny app and are comfortable with R, you are ready for Course 1. JavaScript experience is not required — Course 2 teaches it from scratch within the Shiny context.
shinyMobile is an open-source R package that brings mobile-native UX to Shiny apps using Framework7. AthlyticZ funded the complete v2 rebuild as part of our open source initiative. Dr. David Granjon created the original and Veerle Eeftink - van Leemput co-developed v2. The tools you learn are the ones we invested in.
You may drop within 3 days of commencement for a full refund. No refunds after day 3 or if you have completed 25% or more of any course in the bundle.
Yes. Many students use L&D budgets. The bundle is tax-deductible for employers in most jurisdictions, and you receive 3 certificates of completion for HR records. The ROI section above is designed to help you make the case to your manager.
