An invaluable tool for prototyping with JavaScript. As a web developer, using JavaScript all the time, this is a game changer.
Amazing product that enables analysis and visualization while using JavaScript
Quick and easy way to get up and running in JavaScript, love the ability to visualize results as you code
The key is that it “just works” right out of the install.

About the developer
Data-Forge Notebook is bought to you by Ashley Davis, creator of Data-Forge and author of Data Wrangling with JavaScript, Bootstrapping Microservices and Rapid Fullstack Development.
I always kickstart my JavaScript coding with Data-Forge Notebook. I can see visual results immediately while I’m coding and it makes it easy to understand what’s going on in the code.
