Description
*** This course has been updated to use the latest version of D3 - Version 7.x ****
Hello! Welcome to the D3.js development course. This is the most comprehensive and effective course on D3 around. This is the only course you'll ever need to learn D3.
The goal of this course is to not just teach you D3 (v7.x), but help you understand D3. D3 is a JavaScript library that allows you to build data visualizations easily. The library is absolutely massive and you can create any kind of data visualization you can imagine. With such a massive library, it can be difficult to grasp a lot of the concepts.
By the end of this course, you'll be more than comfortable using D3 and build awesome visualizations. Here is just some of the things you can expect to learn.
Learn about D3 selections which are used to select and manipulate elements on your document.
Get a basic overview of SVG. This is something courses skip over. By having a solid foundation of SVG, then you can make more optimal decisions for your visualizations.
Learn about scales which help you by converting your data into values that can be used to properly display your data. We'll learn about the linear, quantize, quantile, threshold, log, color, and a whole lot of other scales in this course.
Builds various graphs such as bar graphs, pie charts, scatter plots, histograms, line charts, and so much more!
Add interactivity and animation to your graphs to make them more interesting and appealing to the user.
