Activities: Graph Creation
Technical Information: OpenDataSoft, SAS VA
At this point, I have watched enough tutorial SAS VA videos to be able to perform the basics of the program. A lot of today has been spent on messing around with the raw data from the Parks and Rec department. Jack and I created several graphs do gain a better idea of which graphs are best for which task. We have been tasked with our main project for the summer; we will create Data Stories for the Town of Cary website. Basically, we will interpret several different data sets and create both visual and written components for the consumption of the citizens. We will use OpenDataSoft to create HTML visualizations.
My past experiences with computers both in and out of the classroom have served me well so far. My certification in MS Outlook made the transition to my new email client very smooth. Some of my SAS programming knowledge also came in handy when understanding the SAS VA software. The main thing I wish I had known was how to code in HTML. Poorna had to almost all of the HTML coding because Jack and I didn't know how to.
