TONIGHT!
Data Management and Visualization wrap up!
what is a data product?
Example: Heatmaps, D3 and you! :)
Sustainable practices...

We've come a long way!!!
- we can store and process so MUCH data so QUICKLY!
- the challenge now is to support people as they try to understand it all
- visualizations help
- great examples last week from Norah's example
- a map really doesn't tell you everything
- a PD program is not easily found
- "eHarmony" tries to match people... for LIFE!
- data analytics are key aspects of almost everything we do now!
- IBM, Tableau, and more...
Browsers can blow you away!!!
- check these out!
- the future has mind blowing "data products" coming!
- allow users to interactively explore massive data sets
- machine learning helps categorize data in automated ways
- a little bit of programming is going to go a LONG way!
- big changes to the BC curriculum for computer science...
D3 is very popular!
- JavaScript Library
- Example of a calendar "heatmap"
- https://www.crowdanalytix.com/communityBlog/10-steps-to-create-calendar-view-heatmap-in-d3-js
- code is on GitHub
- running it is a little tricky
- stack overflow helps!
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21006647/cannot-import-data-from-csv-file-in-d3
- python's SimpleHTTPServer to the rescue!
- stack overflow helps!
Remember to Play and CELEBRATE!!!
- every programming language has
- variables and expressions
- x = 4 * y;
- data structures
- arrays of json objects
- functions
- parameters
- return values
- control structures
- branching
- decisions, "if" statements
- looping
- repeating statements, "for" and "while" loops
- branching
- variables and expressions
Remember to Play and CELEBRATE!!!
- change the colour in the heatmap code!
- #FFA500?
- print values to the console
- view Developer Tools!
- also your SimpleHTTPServer! :)
MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL...
TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!!
GitHub repository
- Readme.md
- Milestones
- Discussions
- Design artefacts
- Screen Casts
- Code!
- Link to deployed app
- What's missing...
- What to do next...
BRING IT ALL TOGETHER!
But what if it doesn't all WORK?!?!?!
- Think: Proof of Concept
- MVP!!!
- What if we had resources?
- a small seed grant?
- a team of mentors to help?
- more feedback from stakeholders?
It is absolutely FINE if it does not all work, but have a collection of artefacts to help get your ideas off the ground!!!
Celebrate and PLAY!
