How are you going to code an interactive website to display statistics / graphs. Let's say I wanted to create something interactive for people to see Stackoverflow statistics - something similar to awstats / google analytics, but allows me to go to statistics / graphs, for example:
- All questions: total, by the hours of the day, by the days of the week (an interesting call to the time zone there or just stick to UTC).
- Tags (for example, C # questions, questions related to the application): results, by hours of the day, by days of the week.
- Select a user: totals, by hours of the day, by days of the week.
- Extra cool: the ability to add x number of users / tags, date ranges.
Is the answer "code it yourself"? I guess I could interrupt a lot of data and find a graphing library for me.
Or is there a library / package suitable for this kind of thing? I spent some time searching for applications ( Splunk , SQL Server Analysis Services ). But it looks like interactive applications for creating queries, not for creating interactive output.
I am not attached to any particular web technology. ASP.NET/PHP/python - all is well.
