Chapter 8. Data-driven Applications

In this chapter, we will create a data-driven application using data from the Human Development Data API from the United Nations website. We will use D3 to create a reusable chart component, and use Backbone to structure and maintain the application state. We will learn how to use Jekyll to create web applications using templates and a simplified markup language. We will also learn how to host our static site both on Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and GitHub Pages.
