9781593276058 English 1593276052 A well-designed data visualization makes information clear and captivating. Using color, animation, and interactive features, these graphics can make data come alive. Data Visualization with JavaScript shows you how to use a wide range of JavaScript tools and libraries to make effective data visualizations.In "Data Visualization with JavaScript," author Stephen A. Thomas takes you through all the design principles and programming techniques you need to start building your own data visualizations for your website-from the basic line chart to fully interactive network graphs and animated maps. Thomas provides full color, step-by-step instructions for creating specialized web graphics, such as charts that display stock market details in response to mouse movements, and a map that animates train routes to show the fastest option.Inside you'll also learn how to: Make charts that respond to user actions like mouse movements, clicks, zooming, and scrolling.Use an AJAX service to dynamically retrieve data for a chartChoose the right kind of visualization for a particular data set, and integrate the graphic into your websitePick the right tool for your visualization, from easy-to-use web components with everything built in, to powerful, highly customizable libraries like D3.jsManage large data sets in the web browser using Underscore.jsIntegrate data visualizations into a full web applicationNo matter what your experience level as a web developer, "Data Visualization with JavaScript" will have you building beautiful and effective data visualizations in no time., Data Visualization with JavaScript shows developers how to create impressive data visualizations for the web, including animated charts and interactive maps., 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 librariesIf 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.
