# Learn JS Data
+ [Live version](http://learnjsdata.com/)
+ [Observable version](https://beta.observablehq.com/@dakoop/learn-js-data)
Data manipulation, data cleaning, and data processing in JavaScript.
## About
This guide teaches the basics of manipulating data using JavaScript in the
browser, or in node.js. Specifically, these tasks are geared around preparing
data for further analysis and visualization.
This guide will demonstrate some basic techniques and how to implement them
using core JavaScript API, the [d3.js](http://d3js.org/) library and [lodash](http://lodash.com/).
It assumes you already have some basic knowledge of JavaScript.

## Building
If you want to hack on this - or just download and run locally, here is how you would do that.
Requirements:
* node
* npm
* grunt (to rebuild)
First clone the repo:
```
git clone [email protected]:vlandham/js_data.git
```
Then run `npm install` to gather development dependencies:
```
cd js_data
npm install
```
You can now use grunt to do the following:
* Run `grunt` to start a watch task that will recompile things as needed, and kick off a local server on port 8081.
* Run `grunt build` just to build the `public/` directory containing all the output.
## Previous Work
This takes inspiration from a number of similar projects around data manipulation geared towards users of other languages. Here are just some other resources to checkout:
- [Python Code Notebooks](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/chrisalbon/code_py/tree/master/) - by Chris Albon
- [R Code Notebooks](https://github.com/chrisalbon/code_r) - also by Chris Albon
The presentation format of this repo borrows heavily from Tom MacWright's [Literate Raytracer](https://github.com/tmcw/literate-raytracer) repo.
