Overview of this book

Most data analysts use Python and pandas for data processing for the convenience and performance these libraries provide. However, JavaScript developers have always wanted to use machine learning in the browser as well. This book focuses on how Danfo.js brings data processing, analysis, and ML tools to JavaScript developers and how to make the most of this library to build data-driven applications. Starting with an overview of modern JavaScript, you’ll cover data analysis and transformation with Danfo.js and Dnotebook. The book then shows you how to load different datasets, combine and analyze them by performing operations such as handling missing values and string manipulations. You’ll also get to grips with data plotting, visualization, aggregation, and group operations by combining Danfo.js with Plotly. As you advance, you’ll create a no-code data analysis and handling system and create-react-app, react-table, react-chart, Draggable.js, and tailwindcss, and understand how to use TensorFlow.js and Danfo.js to build a recommendation system. Finally, you’ll build a Twitter analytics dashboard powered by Danfo.js, Next.js, node-nlp, and Twit.js. By the end of this app development book, you’ll be able to build and embed data analytics, visualization, and ML capabilities into any JavaScript app in server-side Node.js or the browser.

Chapter 2: Dnotebook - An Interactive Computing Environment for JavaScript

The idea of making our code expressive enough for humans to read and not just for machines to consume was well pioneered by Donald Knuth, who also wrote a book about it called Literate Programming (https://www.amazon.com/Literate-Programming-byKnuth-Knuth/dp/B004WKFC4S). Tools such as Jupyter Notebook give equal weight to prose and code, hence programmers and researchers are free to express themselves extensively through code and text (including images and workflows).

In this chapter, you're going to learn about Dnotebook – an interactive coding environment for JavaScript. You will learn how to install Dnotebook locally. You will also learn how to write code and Markdown in it. In addition, you will learn how to save and import the saved notebook.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Introduction to Dnotebook
  • Setup and installation of Dnotebook
  • Basic concepts...
