JavaScript® and jQuery® for Data Analysis and Visualization

Go beyond design concepts—build dynamic data visualizations using JavaScript JavaScript and jQuery for Data Analysis and Visualization goes beyond design concepts to show readers how to build dynamic, best-of-breed visualizations using JavaScript—the most popular language for web programming. The authors show data analysts, developers, and web designers how they can put the power and flexibility of modern JavaScript libraries to work to analyze data and then present it using best-of-breed visualizations. They also demonstrate the use of each technique with real-world use cases, showing how to apply the appropriate JavaScript and jQuery libraries to achieve the desired visualization. All of the key techniques and tools are explained in this full-color, step-by-step guide. The companion website includes all sample codes used to generate the visualizations in the book, data sets, and links to the libraries and other resources covered. Go beyond basic design concepts and get a firm grasp of visualization approaches and techniques using JavaScript and jQuery Discover detailed, step-by-step directions for building specific types of data visualizations in this full-color guide Learn more about the core JavaScript and jQuery libraries that enable analysis and visualization Find compelling stories in complex data, and create amazing visualizations cost-effectively Let JavaScript and jQuery for Data Analysis and Visualization be the resource that guides you through the myriad strategies and solutions for combining analysis and visualization with stunning results. JavaScript and jQuery for Data Analysis and Visualization shows web designers and developers how they can put the power and flexibility of modern JavaScript libraries to work to analyze data and then present it using best-of-breed visualizations. The author demonstrates the use of each technique with real-world use cases, showing how to apply the appropriate JavaScript and jQuery libraries to achieve the desired visualization. Upwards of 50 different coding tools will be incorporated, including a number of custom routines developed by the author. The book is divided into four major sections. Part I, The Beauty of Numbers Made Visible, lays the groundwork that an experienced JavaScript developer will need to effectively use the data analysis and visualization libraries and tools described in the next two parts of the book. Part II, Working with JavaScript for Analysis, covers the details of data analytics. This section starts with the basics: incorporating existing data from a variety of formats, including both XML and JSON. Next, well look at how to keep data current by bringing in new information interactively using HTML5. Other topics include: Cleaning data for analysis. Using Tables to display data. Analyzing numeric and textual data using jQuery tools Working with CSV, JSON, and other data formats Managing analysis of Big Data Part III, Visualizing Data Programatically, begins with some basic visualizations--including common bar and pie charts--created using D3 and Google Charts. Progressively more advanced techniques are covered, including: Working with SVG and jQuery libraries Producing Trend lines, both programmatic and interactive Generating maps with Google Maps Infographics, Treemaps, Thresholds Charting time-sensitive streaming data using jQuery libraries with JavaScript Part IV, Interactive Analysis and Visualization Projects, brings it all home with four different projects, including: Building an interconnected dashboard. Interactive graph visualizations. Updating visualizations in real time Incorporating 2D and 3D transitions to visualizations The companion website will include all sample code used to generate the visualizations in the book, data sets, and links to the libraries and other resources covered.
