Google Charts provides a handy tool for developers who need to create standard and powerful charts for their users. In this course, you'll explore Google Charts through a series of labs in which you'll build several data visualization charts. You'll start with the very basics - the HTML and JavaScript components that you need to put together to render Google charts, such as the DataTable and options objects.


While doing so, you'll construct some of the fundamental charts available in the Google Charts library, such as pie, bar, and area charts. You'll then use various customization and visualization techniques, such as changing a chart's appearance and the data it shows and using stacked column charts, combo charts, material charts, and charts with dynamic behavior.
