Axiis is Launched !
Just an hour ago I wrapped up my presentation with Michael covering the alpha release of Axiis, the open source data visualization framework he and I have been working on for the last 5 months.
As fate would have it, I ended up coming down with the cold I had successfully resisted for two weeks from my two little boys, but I think the presentation went over well, despite my nasal delivery.
Michael did a phenomenal job of doing a live demo creating a chart from scratch. Unfortunately these sessions turned out to not be recorded, so perhaps we will do a screen cast of that demo.
We are really excited to get feedback from the community and move Axiis forward to its beta launch, which will hopefully be later this summer.

Looks like some very cool stuff. Any hope for some documentation/tutorials. The ASDoc are good, but some written documentation would be much appreciated.
The examples are impressive.

@Chris, we hope to get some more robust documents and tutorials put together over the next few weeks to help people get started. We will be adding a blog to the Axiis.org site so keep an eye out.

Awesome… Dataset seems impressive. Deeper documentation about SQL like selectStatements and yet undocumented functions (dataset. createSeriesSet, …) would be much appreciated.
Excellent work. Thank you

Hi…
Great site and lots of good information on what you are doing!
I’m not a Flex programmer but starting to learn it. I do have an interest in the dashboard because the Elearning activity I have, needs to be displayed somehow and the dashboard is a great way to do that….
I can see that getting the data sources into the format you want for displaying it can take alot of code and overheard. Something to think about is to have a standard XML format that you want on the input side and use other tools to gather/schedule the data conversion for you and put it into the format you need.
There are many open source data translation products that can do this for you. You schedule scripts to gather the data and your good to go…. http://www.jitterbit.com/
is one of the better products. this adds another piece to you solution but for an enterprise that does not always need real time data this would help…
Great work! Thank you
