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.
