About This Course

The collection and processing of data is essential for leaders, engineers, and scientists to make good decisions. While the numbers are important, most people can’t just look at a large spreadsheet of values and see the trends necessary to make decisions, especially if they don’t have a lot of technical knowledge about the science. However, if computer scientists can use computers to create graphs and charts and maps, the learning curve to read and process the key aspects of the data becomes much smaller and the data becomes much more accessible for decision makers to use. This course will discuss the visualization tools that are available for JavaScript.
