Re-charting the Course

Review of Us

• We learned about vega-lite
• We did a bit of D3
• I've talked a little about publishing, etc
• We should all mostly "get" Iodide now
• We haven't yet really "put it together."

Where We're Going

• Let's finish up our intro-to-d3
• We'll talk today about putting the "advanced" back in "advanced data visualization"
• We're going to hit the ground running

Topics

From here on out, we're going to eschew zero-dependency web environments a little bit. We're going to talk about where to go, but here is what was originally planned:

• Deep dive into color
• GLSL and scientific visualization
• Scientific visualization
• Web apps
• Advanced spatial visualization

Your Environment

You will be expected to have a local development environment set up on your computer. This needs to include:

• Python 3.8 or 3.9, installed using Conda
  • Jupyterlab
  • Pandas, matplotlib, h5py
• VS Code with these extensions:
  • MS-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-pack
  • ms-toolsai.jupyter
  • ms-python.python
  • slevesque.shader
  • RandomFractalsInc.vscode-vega-viewer
  • WASTeamAccount.WebTemplateStudio-dev-nightly

We will start with this today.
