You've got data to communicate. But what kind of visualization do you choose, how do you build it, and how do you ensure that it's up to the demands of the Web?
In Data Visualization with JavaScript, you'll learn how to use JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to build the most practical visualizations for your data. Step-by-step examples walk you through creating, integrating, and debugging different types of visualizations and will have you building basic visualizations, like bar, line, and scatter graphs, in no time.
Then you'll move on to more advanced topics, including how to:
Create tree maps, heat maps, network graphs, word clouds, and timelinesMap geographic data, and build sparklines and composite chartsAdd interactivity and retrieve data with AJAXManage data in the browser and build data-driven web applicationsHarness the power of the Flotr2, Flot, Chronoline.js, D3.js, Underscore.js, and Backbone.js libraries
If you already know your way around building a web page but aren't quite sure how to build a good visualization, Data Visualization with JavaScript will help you get your feet wet without throwing you into the deep end. Before you know it, you'll be well on your way to creating simple, powerful data visualizations.
Many people think of data visualization as intricate interactive graphics of dazzling complexity.
Creating effective visualizations, however,
doesn’t require Picasso’s artistic skill or Turing’s
programming expertise. In fact, when you consider the ultimate purpose of data visualization—
helping users understand data—simplicity is one
of the most important features of an effective
visualization. Simple, straightforward charts are
often the easiest to understand.
