57 Welcome to the GovHack toolkit. This page provides all the information you need to prepare hackfest entries.
58 These tools can be used to make entries like: mobile apps, web apps, data visualisations/infographics

61 # General Data Hacking and Programming References {#general-data-hacking-and-programming-references}
62 ## The basics of being a data scientist
63
64 * Have a hypothesis � even if you’re making a tool/api that helps people with their questions too, remember what the objective of that is.
65 * Find the people and tools you need to prove/show/find. This rest of this page will help with the latter.
66 * Analyse and present results � were they what you expected? Do they help explain to others what you have found out? Can present as a interactive data visualisation or a web/mobile application or just a infographic/motion graphics video that tells a story.
67 Please note, there are a combination of Analysis and Visualisation tools in each of the major categories below.

76 [datajournalismhandbook.org](http://datajournalismhandbook.org/)
77
78 You can learn the technical skills from scratch in Visualize This: The FlowingData Guide to Design, Visualization, and Statistics by Nathan Yau or for more advanced

92 **Programming**
93
94 Programming is valuable skill for manipulating and displaying data.
95
96 Basic tutorials for a variety of languages are available for free online or you can learn
97
98 interactively with websites like [http://www.codecademy.com/](http://www.codecademy.com/#!/exercises/0\. for JavaScript or [http://www.learnpython.org/ ](http://www.learnpython.org/)or [http://tryruby.org](http://tryruby.org/)
99
100 [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript) –\. especially for web applications and visualisations, you’ll need a basic understanding of JS. Common libraries like prototype or jQuery can help
101
102 **Accessibility/User Experience**
103
104 WCAG guidelines not only make a web app accessible but make it a better experience for all users! Even if not making an app, good to consider these things to do and not do: [http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/](http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/)
