Getting Started with D3: Creating Data-Driven Documents
Learn how to create beautiful, interactive, browser-based data visualizations with the D3 JavaScript library. This hands-on book shows you how to use a combination of JavaScript and SVG to build everything from simple bar charts to complex infographics. You€ll learn how to use basic D3 tools by building visualizations based on real data from the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority.
Using historical tables, geographical information, and other data, you€ll graph bus breakdowns and accidents and the percentage of subway trains running on time, among other examples. By the end of the book, you€ll be prepared to build your own web-based data visualizations with D3.
If you can code and manipulate data, and know how to work with JavaScript and SVG, this book is for you.
