Data is all around us and growing at an ever-increasing rate. It’s more important than
ever before for businesses to deal with data quickly and effectively to understand their
customers, monitor their processes, and support decision-making.
If Python and R are the kings of the data world, why, then, should you use JavaScript
instead? What role does it play in business, and why do you need to read Data Wrangling
with JavaScript?
I’ve used JavaScript myself in various situations. I started with it when I was a game
developer building our UIs with web technologies. I soon graduated to Node.js backends to manage collection and processing of metrics and telemetry. We also created analytics dashboards to visualize the data we collected. By this stage we did full-stack JavaScript to support the company’s products.
