about this book
The world of data is big, and it can be difficult to navigate on your own. Let Data Wrangling with JavaScript be your guide to working with data in JavaScript.
Data Wrangling with JavaScript is a practical, hands-on, and extensive guide to working with data in JavaScript. It describes the process of development in detail—you’ll feel like you’re actually doing the work yourself as you read the book.
The book has a broad coverage of tools, techniques, and design patterns that you need to be effective with data in JavaScript. Through the book you’ll learn how to apply these skills and build a functioning data pipeline that includes all stages of data wrangling, from data acquisition through to visualization.
This book can’t cover everything, because it’s a broad subject in an evolving field, but one of the main aims of this book is to help you build and manage your own toolkit of data-wrangling tools. Not only will you be able to build a data pipeline after reading this book, you’ll also be equipped to navigate this complex and growing ecosystem, to evaluate the many tools and libraries out there that can help bootstrap or extend your system and get your own development moving more quickly.
