data_viz with javascript and python

While there is some brilliant coding behind these JavaScript converters and many solid use-cases, they do have big limitations:

• Automated code-conversion may well do the job but the code produced is usually pretty impenetrable for a human being.
• Adapting and customising the resulting plots using the power‐ ful browser-based JavaScript development environment is likely to be very painful.
• You are limited to the subset of plot types currently available in the libraries.
• Interactivity is very basic at the moment. Stitching this together is better done in JavaScript, using the browser’s dev-tools.

what counts most in using libraries;

1. Open-source and free as in beer - you shouldn’t have to invest any extra money to learn with this book.
2. Longevity - generally well-established, community-driven and popular.
3. Best of breed, allowing for 2.- at the sweet spont between popularity and utility.

installing simple python webserver

# If Python version returned above is 3.X
# On Windows, try "python -m http.server" or "py -3 -m http.server"
python3 -m http.server
# If Python version returned above is 2.X
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

To change ports; python3 -m http.server 8800
