Online visualization has slowly been shifting away from Flash toward JavaScript and HTML5, but not all browsers support the latter, namely Internet Explorer. Also, because Flash has been around for years, there are libraries and packages that make certain tasks easier than if you were to try to do it with native browser functionality.

Luckily you don’t have to start from scratch. Most of the work has already been done for you via the Flare visualization toolkit, designed and maintained by the UC Berkeley Visualization Lab. It’s an ActionScript library, which was actually a port of a Java visualization toolkit called Prefuse. We’ll work off one of the sample applications on the Flare site, JobVoyager, which is like NameVoyager, but an explorer for jobs. After you get your development environment set up, it’s just a matter of switching in your data and then customizing the look and feel.
