APIs: Visualization

In this session we’ll continue our investigation of APIs by exploring how to gather and visualize large amounts of data. We’ll use the facebook API to spy on ourselves.

Some Processing or programming experience would be nice.

For this session we will need:

Brackets (or any other text editor for code)

Node.js

For a bit of inspiration, check out this completely analog data-viz project.

Code to make your own Facebook Astrology chart and mandala can be found on github.
