REPLAY THE STAGE

Build a Cycling Analysis Board Without Writing Code

Build a cycling analysis board, stage by stage, without writing a line of code.

An agent can scaffold the app in minutes. This workshop is about the structure that survives a second user and a second contributor.

Who it is for

Analysts who do not write code, and R users who want to ship a board in an afternoon.

If you have ever waited a week for someone to build you a dashboard, this is the workshop where you build it yourself, block by block. If you are the person who builds them, this is how you ship one before lunch and hand it to someone who can change it without you.

What you build
  • Read a stage's route and rider data into blockr's data blocks
  • Snap transform blocks together to filter, group and shape it, no code written
  • Add a chart block and watch the board draw the stage as the data lands
  • Share the board so a colleague can change a block without asking you

You leave with A working cycling analysis board, built block by block from real stage data, that you can change and share.

Curriculum

The outline is published here when the academy record carries it.

The problem

The people who need an analysis board rarely write code, and the people who write code rarely have an afternoon to build one for them.

Three decisions it teaches
  1. Which blocks a stage analysis needs: the route and rider data in, the transforms between, the chart out
  2. How to shape data by snapping transform blocks together instead of writing the pipeline
  3. How to share a board so the next person changes a block, not a script
What you get

Everything that exists for this session, and nothing that does not.

Questions

The ones that stop a purchase.

Is this too advanced, or too basic, for me?

You should be comfortable with writing functions in R, and the idea of Shiny. You do not need to have built a package or a module before. Not for you if you have never written R, or you want a finished dashboard handed to you rather than built.

What exactly do I get, and for how long?

The full workshop recording and the materials, yours to keep and watch any time. Full refund any time before we send you the materials, no questions asked.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The recording plays in the browser.

What if it is not for me?

Twenty minutes on a call before you buy costs nothing, and the call is the fastest way to tell. If you bought it and it is the wrong one for you, email michael@athlyticz.com and a person will answer. Full refund any time before we send you the materials, no questions asked.
