Cricket World Cup 2015 analysis – HANA XS application

Hello,

Cricket world cup 2015 (Cricket World Cup 2015 – ICC Cricket | Official Website) is already halfway. While we are enjoying the matches, I thought of analyzing the World Cup records and do some match results prediction based on team’s performance.

I developed a HANA xs application which is using xsjs services to get data from HANA and using various open source libraries (mbostock/stack · GitHub, Sly , D3.js – Data-Driven Documents and http://jquery.com/ ) for User Interface.

Application is active on HANA Cloud Portal, check out:

If you like the application and would like to know steps involved, please keep reading.
