In this project we will be building upon a Rails app by adding an analytics dashboard to an existing project. This dashboard will be a representation of the tabular data that is collected by the Rails app by using Canvas and JS to draw a graph.
By the end of the project students should be able to
- Read, write, debug some JavaScript
- Scope
- High-order functions
- Type system
- Constructors
- Prototypes
- Event listeners
- Arrays
- Debug Tools
- Understand incoming user information
- Progressively enhance data for easier consumption
- Draw on a canvas element using JavaScript
Your project must be "live" on the web for evaluation. We recommend you deploy it on Heroku.
Your README file on Github should contain a link to your live site.
