Description:

Confused by D3? Interested in coding data visualizations on the web, but don't know where to start? This online tutorial will have you transforming data into visual images in no time at all, starting from scratch and building an interactive scatterplot by the end of the session. We'll use d3.js, the web's most powerful library for data visualization, to load data and translate values into SVG elements — drawing lines, points, and scaled axes to label our data. Join us!

This webcast will cover:

• Intro to D3 as a tool
• Set up with empty page template
• Selecting elements
• Creating elements
• SVG images and elements
• Data in JavaScript (arrays)
• Binding data to create elements
• Using scales to position elements
• Using transitions between states
• Adding axes
