AnyChart.com Web Part Demo

I just finished creating a Web Part Page Demo showing the trial version of AnyChart.com's SharePoint feature.

This is a great tool, at a great price. As I have said in my classes, it is better to pay a developer $100 to make something that works than it is to pay $10,000 to make a Marine a programmer. Even then there is no guarentee that the Marine will make something that works, is within common coding standards, or at least meets the minimum needs of the unit (not to mention that once the Marine gets the $10,000 worth of training he will probably get out of the Marine Corps to make a lot more money on the outside...or he'll rotate out of the unit that paid for his training).

This is one of those tools...AND it DOES cost only $100. Possibly less with a group/military discount.

Go to my usmc-sharepoint.com site and check it out.

Some of the best features of this product is that it dynamically changes. A lot of other products out there create a static chart to display on a SharePoint site, but it has to be created ever time the data changes.

This product changes with the data.

Another feature is that you can link to ANY data list/library that you have access to...it does not have to be on the same page/site to have access.

This product has a lot of great chart options, and has a nice graphic design to it. Again, go to my Sharepoint site (remember, login is Marine/password) and see my demo. You can even change the data and see the graphs change dynamically...a rare moment when I let the Marine login name have contributor permissions. ;)

Enjoy!
