Review on Flot by James Julien

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic library for making interactive graphics with minimal code

I like that it's easy to use as well since you don't have any experience in programming this kind of thing! It was very helpful during my internship at Dansko (a shoe manufacturer). Since we were using Python/Django internally they had me create an app which used flot but wasn't really able to do what I needed because there weren't many examples out there about how to make charts from data stored within djangos Models or SQLite databases. So when i came across flots documentation everything just clicked into place so easily once again thanks to its ease of use!! Nothing yet if anything maybe more tutorials would be nice? But overall great tool especially considering all the different types of graphs one could think up! As mentioned before being able to generate some pretty complex looking graphs without having much background knowledge other than knowing your way around html5 canvas etc.
