Learn JS Data is a new guide introducing JavaScript as a language that can support data processing and manipulation.

The idea behind this project is to help those who may have some JavaScript experience, but have not really dealt much with data. Also, the guide can help those who have done data processing in other scripting languages, like python or R, and now have a need for similar data manipulation tools in JavaScript.

While there are many great tutorials and examples for doing data processing in other languages, there appeared to be a deficiency for data munging in JavaScript. We wanted to start to fill this gap in with LearnJSData.com!

It is meant to be a quick but somewhat comprehensive introduction to the topic that includes a small set of native tools and libraries to make data processing fun. Readers should be able to easily utilize these tools and techniques in wrangling their own data.

Want to get involved? Jump in! Send us your pull requests and suggestions for improvements. Already, collaborators have provided a brand new chapter and started translating the guide to Spanish. We'd love your help to make this guide even better.

  • "JavaScript as a tool" -> JavaScript as a language that can support...? I don't know if we can refer to it as a 'tool'.
  • Link to the Spanish translation branch, so people can contribute their own!

Also, let's add an image. We can just use the logo? Or the logo + banner? I think we have about 500px of width.
