Henry Garner

Henry Garner is a graduate from the University of Oxford and an experienced developer, CTO, and coach. He started his technical career at Britain's largest telecoms provider, BT, working with a traditional data warehouse infrastructure. As a part of a small team for 3 years, he built sophisticated data models to derive insight from raw data and use web applications to present the results. These applications were used internally by senior executives and operatives to track both business and systems performance. He then went on to co-found Likely, a social media analytics start-up. As the CTO, he set the technical direction, leading to the introduction of an event-based append-only data pipeline modeled after the Lambda architecture. He adopted Clojure in 2011 and led a hybrid team of programmers and data scientists, building content recommendation engines based on collaborative filtering and clustering techniques. He developed a syllabus and copresented a series of evening classes from Likely's offices for professional developers who wanted to learn Clojure. Henry now works with growing businesses, consulting in both a development and technical leadership capacity. He presents regularly at seminars and Clojure meetups in and around London.

In this chapter, we'll return to the data we used in the very first chapter of this book: data from the 2011 Russian election. Back, in Chapter 1, Statistics, we used a scatter plot with transparency to visualize the relationship between voter turnout and the victor's percentage of the vote. In this chapter, we'll produce code to render the data as a two-dimensional histogram.

We'll also be making use of the data on the distribution of wealth in the United States. This data is so small that we won't have anything to download: we'll type the figures directly into the source code.

Note

The source code for this chapter is available at https://github.com/clojuredatascience/ch10-visualization.

The example code for this chapter contains a script to download the election data we used in Chapter 1, Statistics. Once you've downloaded the source code, you can execute the script by running the following command line from within the project root:

script/download-data.sh
