Download this PDF book: Applied User Data Collection and Analysis Using JavaScript and PHP 1st Edition by Kyle Goslin, Markus Hofmann
Applied User Data Collection and Analysis Using JavaScript and PHP is designed to provide the technical skills and competency to gather a wide range of user data from web applications in both active and passive methods.
This is done by providing the reader with real-world examples of how a variety of different JavaScript- and PHP-based libraries can be used to gather data using custom feedback forms and embedded data gathering tools.
Once data has been gathered, this book explores the process of working with numerical data, text analysis, visualization approaches, statistics, and rolling out developed applications to both data analysts and users alike.
Using the collected data, this book aims to provide a deeper understanding of user behavior and interests, allowing application developers to further enhance web-application development.
Key Features:
Complete real-world examples of gathering data from users and web environments
Offers readers the fundamentals of text analysis using JavaScript and PHP
Allows the user to understand and harness JavaScript data-visualization tools
Integration of new and existing data sources into a single, bespoke web-based analysis environment
Understanding a user’s needs and requirements is one of the main driving forces for any business. Collected data provides insights into how users feel about a given feature or topic and how they work on a day to day basis.
This data can be gathered directly from users by providing simple questions and allowing the user to select an option from a predefined list, or to enter their own text-based responses. Although asking a user for their opinion is possible, other methods can be used to gather data. Data can be collected indirectly through a web application by monitoring the interactions and behaviors a user has with it.
The collected data can be processed to generate meaningful statistics and visualizations, providing both overviews and a deep-dive analysis of user interests and needs. Each different data type, such as numerical data and text data, comes with methods of identifying importance and relevance.
Both quantitative and qualitative analysis approaches can be used to extract these insights. In this book, we explore the different methods available for data collection, extraction, and analysis. This book aims to describe the many different approaches that can be taken with the aim to capture as much data as possible for analysis.
To provide a complete solution, the process of developing and deploying the developed solutions on a cloud-based server is explored with additional features such as report generation and delivery.
An emphasis in this book is placed on the diversity of technologies exposing you to many different alternatives for data collection and analysis, providing you with the tools needed to develop a well-rounded solution.
