The material is pitched at analysts with at least beginner level of R. The more familiar you are with R, the better able you will be to complete the exercises but if you get stuck you can browse the answers so you shouldn't get completely left behind. Those who are very competent at R or have a bit of experience with Shiny are likely to get through the material with time to spare and there is extra material for those who might otherwise finish a bit early.
