Hi people,

This post is not really on data science, but on a sister topic - data visualization. I am charting government data so that users can compare wages across several dimensions e.g. age, industry, occupation, starting pay of local degrees etc.


And this is the free Android app I released on the Play store



Please let me know your comments and suggestions as this is far from a finished product. Do give me a +1/tweet if you find this useful :) 

Thanks guys!

That's awesome. Visualisation certainly is a part of Big Data!  

What tools are you using for visualisation?

Thanks John and Gideon, those are the tools I'm using. 

I find the Google Visualization API Query Language especially useful in querying data from a JSON data source (like Google Spreadsheet) and putting the data in the right format for charting :)

Hi Rufeng, 

Brilliant work. Thanks. 

Are there any code examples that you have shared online that others could start with to add visualization to their own projects? I realize that developers could go straight to the Google documentation, but if you found yourself solving a few problems that you expect others to run in to, it would be great to hear about your approach. Visualization of JSON data is a very common goal these days. 

Chris

Thank you Chris and Dibyo for your interest :)
Sure, it would be my pleasure to share my experience on this project. But April is a tight month for me, perhaps I can do the May meetup?
