Regarding the use of libraries in the project
12 novembro 2019, 14:54 • Daniel Jorge Viegas Gonçalves
As you know, the baseline requirement for the project is that you use D3 version 5. Of course, there are many other javascript libraries out there. So, can you use them?
On the other hand, there are several libraries that build on top of D3 to help create the visualizations themselves. For those libraries, generically, the answer is no.
Student: We intended to, but the library didn't allow it|
Now, there are some libraries that extend D3. That make it easier to draw a map, or to place labels, etc. Those are not canned vis. Those are d3 modules, d3 extensions. Those will still require you to craft the visualization itself, but facilitate some part of it. They might be usable. As a rule of thumb, if you're still doing everything in D3, no "canned viz", and are using those libs as D3 extensions, it may be ok.

Caros alunos do Tagus,
Have you downloaded Pentaho Data Integration?

You must. It is a 1.1GB download. Plus, you have to unzip it and get it to work. It is a Java application. Do you have the correct version? is JAVA_HOME set? etc. So the time to do it is NOW. Lab 3 will be a tutorial on PDI, to be used for the Lab 4 deliverable (Checkpoint II) and there will be no time at all for you to set this up in class.
Checkpoint I - Strict limits

As you have probably figured out, the labs will need to be very well managed so that we can make it work. We'd like to have fewer groups per lab to have more time for feedback but, alas, that is not possible. So: we're going to be very strict with timings and procedures. As in: stopwatch in hand. The 5min limit for the presentation is a hard limit. You will be stopped (one minute over time is one minute less feedback for another group, which is not fair). For the same reason, you need to upload your presentation until the end of the day before your class. This will ensure everything is ok at the start of class and that it can proceed without undue delays.
