edav's Issues

Add material on setting up Travis to how was this book made

I put together some notes here: https://jtr13.github.io/travis-howto/

(Also here https://github.com/jtr13/EDAV/blob/master/joyce_drafts/WebPublishingNotes.Rmd but the former is slightly more expanded)

Why does it look so easy? It was not. 😫

Get edav.info/ on bookdown.org page

Submitted pull request: rstudio/bookdown.org#15

DataCamp access

Discuss how to handle the fact that we have many links to DataCamp resources behind the paywall, which students won't have access to until class starts.

Yellow Page: Color/Perception

Explanation on Color choices and links to places to deal with color choices

On perception and how it can skew things.

Check external links open in a new tab

Go through and make sure links that aren't to edav.info/ open in new tab. Use {target="_blank"} at the end to fix.

Yellow Page: Working in Teams/Working with GitHub

Page on Collaborating on projects in teams, specifically links for help with GitHub.

Update EDAV website 11.3 color session

If I directly use Github, I understand that you will be able to review the change and approve it. However, will you be able to provide a certain level of instruction? The reason I ask this question is because that I am not a pro in color, but while I was doing hw1, I have found there are so much behind this topic, so I would like to dig more and add them on the website to make it more helpful. Thus, there might be things that are not perfect and a second-pair of eyes will be helpful.

MEETING: Travis CI

I've been writing up ideas for the contribute page and finding that:

• having students contribute their own pages and updates sounds awesome
• it could easily get out of hand

I think it would be wise to create a Travis CI account for edav.info/ so that people (including you and I) only ever touch the .Rmd files. Then, Travis CI can build the site for us and we don't have to teach people about rendering or decide how we want to handle all that.

It looks kinds complicated to setup, but it should help out immensely in the long-run.

Some info about it here:
https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/github.html

Custom 404 Page

Along with Cloudflare, it would help smooth out corner cases. Am finding it difficult to solve, though.

Test issue

Look into a domain name

• Google domains is the easiest
• edav.info for $12/year

Add Heat Maps Chapter

Example of Heat map

• considerations (they are not always ideal)
• etc.

Solutions needed for EDAV 2

Please submit! :-)

Add fact that bookdown supports other languages

May be out of scope for this resource in relation to the edav course, but may prove useful for people wanting to create something for another language. Bookdown supports different languages, so you could write up something with python for example.

https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/language-engines.html

Worth looking into to expand the reach of the resource.

Review Intro + Add "What this book is NOT"/"Acknowledgements"

I reformatted the intro page, updated the table of contents, and moved the banners to a chapter index page at the end of the book.

Also, I'm gonna leave the "What this book is NOT" and "Acknowledgements" sections for you to create. I was thinking both would go on the main page ("What this book is NOT" after "How this book is structured" and "Acknowledgements" after "Fun stuff: t-shirts".

Let me know if you'd like anything changed.

😄

License refactoring

• it doesn't have to be on every page
• maybe add my email

Add GitHub Learning Lab

Add link to GitHub Learning Lab to GitHub resources

https://lab.github.com/

• Add as tl:dr at top
• Just want to get started and learn by doing? This is for you...

Google Analytics?

Not sure if you are interested, but you can get info on which pages of the site people are viewing, which could help inform us what pages are most important/should be expanded.

This book discusses the very simple setup. It's basically a question of whether you want to include it or not.

EDAV8Notes.md -> missing append("path") in Step 2

Dear Professor,

I was trying to follow the steps in EDAV8Notes.md for line charts, In Step 2, there is a missing "append" logic in the chain .

 d3.select("svg").append("path").datum(dataset)
    .attr("d", mylinegen)
    .attr("fill", "none")
    .attr("stroke", "teal")
    .attr("stroke-width", "5");

Also, in the style section below, the classname should be "linestyle"

The associated *.html is fine.

EDAV2Notes.md : page number for Javascript portion

The page numbers for JavaScript portion of the textbook is 36-52, in the slide it is mentioned 52-61. Not a technical issue, but just thought will bring to your notice
Saw the same in the first lecture of D3 too (3/8)

Make refs to edav.info use https

I got yihui to add our resource to bookdown.org 😃, but he corrected my input by insisting on https 😐.

My initial knee-jerk reaction is to make links in the site be https, but I think we should be able to insist on using https for the domain in the backend.

More domain tweaking? I think the github setting page might be able to help (checkmark for insisting on https). We will see.

Create back-to-top button

Something like this: https://codepen.io/rdallaire/pen/apoyx

• Jumps user to the top of the page
• Fixed to bottom right-hand corner
• appears after scrolling a portion of the page
• on click, scrolls up in a smooth motion

Tried to add it and am having trouble getting the link to send me to the top of the page. The href="#" trick doesn't seem to be working with a bookdown book. Would appreciate any help on solving this.

Try to create favicon

https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/customization.html

MEETING: Setup Cloudflare for corner issues

https://www.cloudflare.com/

Cloudflare will allow us to make the domain name respond to different inputs.
Also, will add security. And it's free.
