3. G E T S E T U P 1. Visit http://bit.ly/osb-julia-d3 and either make a copy or just download the files. 2. Sign in to juliabox.org (This might fail once or twice) 3. In the Sync tab, enter either your copy of the Google Drive folder listed above, or the bit.ly link. 4. This should add an OSBridge folder in your JuliaBox. 5. Also available at github.com/SOASTA/osbridge-julia-d3
4. J U L I A I S … • High-level, high-performance dynamic programming language • Borrows from R, Python, MatLab, etc. • Performance comparable to C • Designed for Parallelism & Cloud Computing • MIT licensed — http://julialang.org/
5. D 3 I S … • A JavaScript library that maps Data to DOM Nodes • Extended via layouts & plugins for rich data visualisations • You still need to write code to draw things • Fast on its own, but you can easily make it sluggish • BSD Licensed — http://d3js.org/
