Data Visualization Education Path

Hi,
I’m interested in learning how to create interactive data visualizations, such as maps and charts that will eventually be data driven. Here is an example: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/graphics/08_22_10_property_tax/
My background is in UX design (mainly Photoshop/Illustrator to xHTML and CCS) and I have had little to no Flash animation or object orientated programming experience. So that leaves me trying to figure what software, languages or other technologies I need to learn to achieve this and my head is spinning.
I’ve started the process by learning the basics of Flash CS5.5 animation from Lynda.com. Next I plan on learning ActionScript 3.0. However, this is where my questions start to arise:
1.      
For data visualization, is working in Flash Builder better or more efficient than working in Flash Professional?
If I wanted to do a map with shaded areas like the one in the example can this be done in Flash Builder alone?
Are there any data visualization tutorials using adobe products out there?
I understand that this is a pretty big undertaking and my questions may seem pretty fundamental, but at this point I’m just trying to figure out in what direction I need to go. Any insight will be appreciated.
Thanks!

  • Can we delete the archived RS tables data in unix path?

    Hi Experts
    As you all know that when we perform RS table archiving we setup a Logical file path 'ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH' pointing to the physical path '/usr/sap/<SYSID>/SYS/global/<FILENAME>' in unix system.
    Here we have our RS table data in the unix path and this logical path will make sure that there are no problems with requests status.
    Now our unix path has grown in size hence we would like to delete some archived data from this path. Could you pls confirm if we delete the data from this unix path will there be any problems with the requests status?
    Simply can we delete the RS table archived data from the unix file path??
    Thanks!!

    Hi All
    Any idea about this would be appreciated.
    Thanks!!

  • Unable to find data visualization component in JDEV 11g Preview 4

    we have installed jdev11g preview 4 and we are unable to find ADF data visualization component.
    Is there anyway we could add this component.
    Thanks in Advance
    Sabir

    Hi,
    in the component palette (while having an ADF Faces page open), right click and then choose "Edit Libraries" from the context menu. Choose the DVT libraries and toggle them to the selected libraries. The DVT components should show now

    \ is an escape character. To get a literal \, you need to escape it ... "\\" prints as "\".

  • Auto populate system Current date in Info path form textbox

    Hi,
    I want to display system current date in info path when user opens new form.I have placed a text box and added now function and in format selected do not display time option.
    When i preview the form everything works as expected.the date is displaying like mm/dd/yyyy format without time :)
    But after publishing the same form to share point list when i open the form from browser the text box is not showing current date 
    Instead it is showing yesterday's date :(
    Can anyone help me to resolve the issue.
    Regards,
    Poovi

    Hi Poovi,
    According to your description, you want to enable the text box to show the current date when opening the form from browser. However, the date that your text box displayed
    in the SharePoint site page is different from the
    one in the InfoPath Designer.
    In InfoPath, the date displayed is the same as the system date. However, the date displayed in the SharePoint site
    page depends on the Regional
    settings of a site other
    than system date.
    As a solution, you could set the time zone in Regional settings of a site if needed.
    Here is a link about how to change the Regional settings of a site, you could use as a reference:

  • Upcoming Lumira Webinar June 11th on the topic of "Big Data Visualization and Custom Extensions"

    The next webinar in the Lumira series is coming up this week on Wednesday, June 11th, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Pacific Standard Time. The day is almost here and if you've already registered, thank you!
    If not, please click here to register.
    Speaker Profile:
    The topic is presented by the Jay Thoden van Velzen, Program Director Global HANA Services/Big Data Services Center of Excellence at SAP!
    Jay has been working in Analytics/Business Intelligence since it was called Decision Support Systems in the late 90s. Currently he is focused on Big Data solutions and how to make the various components of such a solution run smoothly integrated together using the SAP HANA Platform. 
    Abstract:
    Big Data analysis poses unique and new challenges to data visualization, compared to more traditional analytics. Such analysis often includes frequency counts, analysis of relationships in a network, and elements of statistical and predictive modeling. In many cases, traditional visualization techniques of bar- and column charts, pie charts and line graphs are not the most appropriate. We have to avoid the “beautiful hairball” and make it easy for end users to absorb the information through clever use of filtering, transparency and interactivity. We will likely also need to provide more context to go with the visualization than we have been used to in traditional analytics. Moreover, in case of forecasts you need to include any confidence intervals in order not to mislead.
    This means we need more chart types, and often the chart types you need may not exist, nor could the need for such chart types necessarily be foreseen. However, Lumira allows us to design and code our own D3.js visualizations and integrate it into Lumira while providing all the data access methods – including SAP HANA – that it provides out of the box. This means we can develop our visualizations to share the outcomes of Big Data analysis to exactly how we feel it should be presented. During the webinar we will show a number of examples, and specifically the integration of forecasts coming from R into Lumira through a Lumira custom extension.
    We really hope to see you there!
    Cheers!

  • Flex 3.5 data visualization license

    Hi,
    For Flex 3.5,  the data visualization library is freely available, but it's licensing  is unclear to me. Do I still need the Flex Builder license if I want to  use it in a commercial product?
    The legal stuff page (http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Legal+Stuff#LegalStuf f-LicensesofthevariousFlexSDKpackages) mentions:
    "Adobe Add-ons for Open Source Flex SDK – This package contains  all of the items that are in the Adobe Flex  SDK and not in the Open  Source Flex SDK. Downloading this file will  allow you to bring the Open  Source Flex SDK to parity with the Adobe  Flex SDK. This package includes  the Adobe Flash Player, Adobe AIR, the  advanced font encoding  libraries, and the code that allows licensing of things like the Data Visualization components. All of these elements are licensed under the  Adobe Flex SDK license."
    But I don't understand what that means. Is "code that allows licensing of data visualization" something else than the "data visualization" library?
    Kind regards,
    Glenn

    The Data Visualization components were open sourced, but done so in a somewhat quiet and lazy manner. Nobody ever bothered to update the descriptions on the open source download page to reflect the change and (as far as I can tell) they never bothered to properly repackage it. If you want the source, you also have to go digging through the Flex SVN. Reading the source, you can find all kinds of details that were deliberately undocumented reflecting when Adobe didn't really want you messing with it and/or wanted to give you a reason to pay. No cleanup. Just released as-is.
    For me it's been great since I am at last able to finally dive in and understand how the components work, extend them, and can often fix the quirks fairly easily.

  • How to read data from info path in custom web part in share point 2010

    Hello,
    Yes, you can use XmlDocument, XmlNodeList, XmlElement, XmlNode etc to read infopath file via code. Just add "using System.Xml" as reference in your solution.
    Refer below link with sample code:

  • Mobile development using Adobe Flex 4.5 SDK and Flash Builder 4.5 for Data Visualization

    Hi,
    I am currently looking at the feasibility of building Data Visualization chart/graph in Android mobile phones. I would like to enquire if the mentioned subject comes with the Data Visualization components as seen in the Tour De Flex.
    Cheers!

    If you're using components specific to the Flex 4.6 release, then it would be a natural assumption that design view will not work.  If you're having this issue while using components that are not unique to Flex 4.6, then I don't have an answer.  On a good note, design view is completely useless anyway.  It's much faster to type than to drag stuff around with your mouse needlessly.

  • Three levels hierarachy - hierarchy viewer data visualization component

    I am not getting the third level when i am using the hierarchy viewer....any pointers will be a great help
    Edited by: Deepak Subramanian on Jan 22, 2010 5:34 AM

    oops sorry if i sounded vague....
    using jdev version 11g
    well I am trying to use the hierarchy viewer data visualization component to create a hierarchy which shows the managers and employees below them.
    am using a single query based VO which has two columns manager and employee.
    then created a self view link with that vo
    the data control looks something like
    manager(first level)
    ----manager or employee(first level)
    ---------employee(third level)
    I am dragging entire data control on the page so that the create hierarchy viewer option appears.
    from there I am stuck...
    when I am running the page, I am getting just two levels...the last level is not showing up :(.....

  • Using the Oracle ADF Data Visualization Components in a standard JSF enviro

    Hi,
    I have asked this question on the JDeveloper and ADF forum, haven't gotten a response yet:
    Using the Data Visualization Components from ADF in a JBoss 7.1.1
    .. but I would like to ask the question here as well if anyone have used the data visualization components from Oracle ADF Essentials .. the free version ... using the graph components in general, but I am looking at specifically using the gantt chart component in particular ... in a standard JSF environment ( e.g. Tomcat + Mojarra, or JBoss with the built-in Mojarra implementation ) ??
    I know there are other JSF charting components out there ...like the ones from PrimeFaces, but the gantt chart from ADF looks more ... well .. professional.

    People are not prone to answer questions that are not really a problem. You want to know something about a free product, install it and see for yourself. In any case spreading your question around is not going to help you, the people who know about ADF are still going to be looking in the ADF forum. If you don't get an answer there, what chance do you think you have that you'll get one here where it is off-topic?
    I'll close with a word of advice: you generally pay for quality. If you want professional looking charts, you'll probably have to look at commercial products.

  • ADF Data Visualizations group not showing up in Component Palette

    I apologize for my ignorance, but I cannot find how to solve this problem. I am trying to use the data visualization components such as graphs but my component palette does not show this. It does show ADF Faces, JSF, and some others, but not this. I tried adding more libraries to my project's properties, but it does not show up. I am using:
    JDeveloper
    Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.2.0
    Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.2.0_GENERIC_091029.2229.5536
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    Kerry

    Go into project properties -> JSP libraries and make sure you add the data visualization tag library.

  • Data Visualization Watermark Shows Up With RSL

    When the data visualization component is linked as an RSL, I
    see the 'Trial' watermark even though I have licensed the
    component. I am creating both swf and swz files. Clearly I need to
    attach the license key in some way to each build - but how?
    I am using FlexBuilder 3

    I had another go at this today. I compiled the data
    visualization component as 'Merge' - so it's not an RSL. I could
    still see the trial watermark.
    I made sure that the valid FB3 license was included in
    license.properties AND flex-config.xml.
    As soon as I switched back to 'Merged into code' , the
    message disappeared.
    Interestingly, this was raised as an issue, and marked as
    fixed on 27 November 2007, in the Flex Bug & Issues Management
    system (
    http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-1408).

  • License for Flex 3 Data Visualization Components

  • Stable Build with Data Visualization?

    Hi,
    I just downloaded and installed the latest Stable Build (4.0.0.13875). Now my project has lost the data visualization components -- lots of compile errors about not resolving component implementations for the data visualization components that I'm using
    Anyone know what I need to do get them working again? I suspect this is something simple, but I'm at a loss.
    I had been using the Beta 2 version of the SDK.
    TIA,
    Kirk

    I am not certain I understand the problem. Can you currently see an graph in the Fusion Order Demo? If not ensure that you have the flash plugin installed.
