This toolchain gathers raw, unrefined data at its start and delivers a rich, engaging web visualization at its end. Like all tales of data visualization, it is a tale of transformation—in this case, transforming a basic Wikipedia list of Nobel Prize winners into an interactive visualization, bringing the data to life and making exploration of the prize’s history easy and fun.
Whatever data you have and whatever story you want to tell with it, the natural home for the visualizations you transform it into is the web. As a delivery platform, it is orders of magnitude more powerful than what came before, and this book aims to smooth the passage ...
