#javascript #webdev #datascience #tutorial

Stacked area charts are frequently used in data visualization, helping to show how several variables along with the total are changing over time.

Find out how to quickly make interactive JavaScript stacked area charts for web projects in this new tutorial.

Here's a percent (normalized) stacked area chart to be built by the end of the tutorial:
