This book is a step-by-step tutorial full of diagrams, core concept explanations, best practice tips, and links to working book examples. This book will show you how create web-ready data visualizations using Google’s infrastructure. Some HTML knowledge is the only requirement, although some JavaScript knowledge is also helpful.
A reference to the staged learning, step-by-step examples, caveats and explanations that help to reduce frustration and push faster up the learning curve, which can seem steep for non-developers by profession who haven’t worked w Google APIs before. That being said, the writing can come across as subjective in places, reading more as opinion than instruction; less of a dry textbook and more like a lecture.
