 # Description
 
-Full workshop description goes here. Multi-paragraph ok.
+Shiny is an R package that makes it easy to build interactive web apps straight from R. This workshop will start at the beginning: designing and creating user interfaces, learning and mastering the reactive model that connects your R code to the interface, and deploying apps publicly and privately. We will wrap up with some intermediate-level tools: debugging and modularizing your apps and implementing dynamic user interfaces. In the end, you’ll be a confident Shiny user, able to design interactive apps to achieve your purpose and produce a polished and professional implementation.
 
 # Audience
 
-This course is for you if you:
-
--   list at least
+* are comfortable with the basics of R, such as writing functions, indexing vectors and lists, debugging simple errors, and working with data structures like data frames,
 
--   three attributes
+* are interested in creating interactive web applications, and
 
--   for your target audience
+* have no or minimal experience with Shiny for R. If you have a bit of experience, you’ll see things in a new way. If you don’t, we’ll get you started on the right footing.
