Hi! 👋
My name is Nael Shiab. I am a computational journalist based in Montreal.
This is the code repository for Code Like a Journalist. This website will be a free, open-source online data analysis and visualization course using JavaScript/TypeScript. It will be available in English and French.
I'll work on it with the help of Jean-Hugues Roy, journalism professor at UQAM. Thanks to the support of the Michener Awards Foundation, I plan to take several months off from my current job to fully focus on building the course.
The lessons will be tailored for journalists, but I hope anyone interested in answering questions of public interest with data and code will find it helpful.
To allow teachers and professors to reuse the course with their students, the content is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License. The only condition is to give appropriate credit with a link to the website or its code repository.
If you want to know when I'll start adding lessons, subscribe to the newsletter.
You can also follow me on these platforms:
And add a star to the GitHub repository to keep me motivated!
