Getting Started

On these pages we will take you through creating an app with a data loader for loading legacy or instrument data through Excel data sheets, and visualizing and working with data in Scifeon through panels, pages and dashboards.

Resources

If you have experience with other scripting languages (e.g. Python, MatLab or R) these resources could be useful:

• This is an online book “JavaScript for Data Science”: https://js4ds.org/ (JavaScript and TypeScript is essentially the same, so everything here can be used in TypeScript as well)
• This is a top-down Typescript tutorial with a lot of details: https://www.edureka.co/blog/typescript-tutorial/ (focus on arrays)

Scifeon Apps are built using the Aurelia framework, so using the Aurelia documentation and completing one or two tutorials is recommended:

• Aurelia Documentation
• Aurelia tutorials

In general the TypeScript Documentation is great, it also includes a TypeScript in 5 minutes tutorial.
