Once you're familiar with the basics of Google Charts, you can build on this to create more exciting and advanced visualizations. In this course, you'll get hands-on experience with some of the specialized visuals available in Google Charts. You'll learn how to work with geo charts to convey information related to countries and map charts to convey data on satellite, street, and terrain maps. You'll also work with Sankey charts to convey data flow, treemap charts to show hierarchical information, gauge charts for values within a range, and calendar charts for daily date-related data. In addition, you'll recognize what kind of data can be portrayed in these charts and learn how to set up and customize them.

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.

When developing charts with Google Charts, you can control not only what data your users see, but also how they interact with it. In this course, you'll explore the different ways in which user interaction with Google Charts can be set up and configured. You'll start by learning how to get data from Google Drive and use it in your Google charts. You'll then learn how to convey the relationship between fields using a scatter chart. Next, you'll learn how to create a chart editor to allow users to choose the right chart for their data. You'll learn how to work with dashboards and controls to enable users to visualize a subset of their data dynamically. Lastly, you'll design a dashboard with multiple charts and controls.
