Linux User Group - Data Visualization

Topic: Data Visualization

Speaker: Steve Zelinka

Description:
The web-based database viewer allows users to query any dataset and display results in a variety of formats from a simple table to charts and plots. It uses linux, apache, php, and javascript to take a user defined query, send it to a database and then display the results in the desired output format. The server side code handles all the database negotiations, so database-specific syntax and functions are handled automatically, transparent to the user. Customizable menus allow the user to filter the query results. CSV and JSON output options allow for further use in a spreadsheet or other web tools.
