Rodrigo Zamith's NCAA Tournament Visualizer is a great example of an interactive data visualization. If you want to create something similar, Rodrigo has shared detailed behind-the-scenes information on how it was created. He used a mix of tools:
- Python was used to scrape team statistics fromt the NCAA website
- R was used to prepare the data for analysis, and to generate the visualizations (using the ggplot2 package)
- JavaScript and HTML was used to create the interactive interface
Many thanks go to Rodriguo for making all of the code behind the application available on GitHub as open source.
