Learn Chart.js. Create interactive visualizations for the Web with Chart.js 2
Helder Da Rocha
Chart.js is a free, open-source data visualization library, maintained by an active community of developers in GitHub, where it rates as the second most popular data visualization library. If you want to quickly create responsive Web-based data visualizations for the Web, Chart.js is a great choice.This book guides the reader through dozens of practical examples, complete with code you can run and modify as you wish. It is a practical hands-on introduction to Chart.js. If you have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can learn to create beautiful interactive Web Canvas-based visualizations for your data using Chart.js. This book will help you set up Chart.js in a Web page and show how to create each one of the eight Chart.js chart types. You will also learn how to configure most properties that override Chart’s default styles and behaviors. Practical applications of Chart.js are exemplified using real data files obtained from public data portals. You will learn how to load, parse, filter and select the data you wish to display from those files. You will also learn how to create visualizations that reveal patterns in the data. This book is based on Chart.js version 2.7.3 and ES2015 JavaScript.By the end of the book, you will be able to create beautiful, efficient and interactive data visualizations for the Web using Chart.js.
Learn D3.js. Create interactive data-driven visualizations for the web with the D3.js library
Helder Da Rocha
This book is a practical hands-on introduction to D3 (Data-driven Documents): the most popular open-source JavaScript library for creating interactive web-based data visualizations. Based entirely on open web standards, D3 provides an integrated collection of tools for efficiently binding data to graphical elements. If you have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can use D3.js to create beautiful interactive web-based data visualizations.D3 is not a charting library. It doesn’t contain any pre-defined chart types, but can be used to create whatever visual representations of data you can imagine. The goal of this book is to introduce D3 and provide a learning path so that you obtain a solid understanding of its fundamental concepts, learn to use most of its modules and functions, and gain enough experience to create your own D3 visualizations. You will learn how to create bar, line, pie and scatter charts, trees, dendograms, treemaps, circle packs, chord/ribbon diagrams, sankey diagrams, animated network diagrams, and maps using different geographical projections. Fundamental concepts are explained in each chapter and then applied to a larger example in step-by-step tutorials, complete with full code, from hundreds of examples you can download and run. This book covers D3 version 5 and is based on ES2015 JavaScript.

Furthermore, you’ll learn modularizing the JS code base, implementing JS on the web and how the modern HTML5 + JS APIs provide power to developers on the web. Finally, you will learn the deeper parts of the language, which include making JavaScript multithreaded with dedicated and shared web workers, memory management, shared memory, and atomics. It doesn’t end here; this book is 100% compatible with ES.Next.By the end of this book, you'll have fully mastered all the features of ECMAScript!
Learn React Hooks. Build and refactor modern React.js applications using Hooks
Daniel Bugl
React Hooks revolutionize how you manage state and effects in your web applications. They enable you to build simple and concise React.js applications, along with helping you avoid using wrapper components in your applications, making it easy to refactor code.This React book starts by introducing you to React Hooks. You will then get to grips with building a complex UI in React while keeping the code simple and extensible. Next, you will quickly move on to building your first applications with React Hooks. In the next few chapters, the book delves into various Hooks, including the State and Effect Hooks. After covering State Hooks and understanding how to use them, you will focus on the capabilities of Effect Hooks for adding advanced functionality to React apps. You will later explore the Suspense and Context APIs and how they can be used with Hooks. Toward the concluding chapters, you will learn how to integrate Redux and MobX with React Hooks. Finally, the book will help you develop the skill of migrating your existing React class components, and Redux and MobX web applications to Hooks.By the end of this book, you will be well-versed in building your own custom Hooks and effectively refactoring your React applications.
Daniel Bugl, Georg Schelkshorn
React Hooks allow you to easily encapsulate, reuse, and refactor logic with the same level of simplicity that components bring to user interface organization.In this second edition, React expert and author of many popular React books, Daniel Bugl guides you through the full spectrum of React Hooks, and teaches you how to handle forms, routing, and data fetching in modern React development. This edition is fully updated to React 19, with a revamped structure, expanded real-world use cases, and coverage of all newly introduced Hooks.Starting with the fundamentals, you'll gain a deep understanding of how Hooks work under the hood and how to apply Hooks patterns efficiently. The chapters guide you through using State, Reducer, and Effect Hooks to manage application state, side effects, and complex logic for building your first Hook-based app. You'll utilize Suspense and Context APIs for streamlined data fetching and state management, master Form Actions for handling submissions, and implement routing with Hooks. You’ll also create custom Hooks for advanced functionality and write tests for reliability. Finally, you’ll learn how to refactor an existing app with class components into modern Hooks architecture.By the end of this React book, you'll be well-equipped to use React Hooks to modernize and optimize your React projects.
