about the technology
D3.js is the powerful JavaScript library behind the most innovative and sophisticated data visualizations on the web today. It provides a simple but powerful data visualization API over HTML, CSS, SVG, and Canvas. Start with a structure, dataset, or algorithm. Mix in D3, and you can programmatically generate static, animated, or interactive images that scale to any screen or browser. You'll be blown away by how beautiful your results can be!
Learning D3 requires at least a minimal amount of literacy in front-end development. To get the most out of this book, you'll want to have previously learned the basics of front-end development. Being familiar with HTML elements, CSS selectors, and the main CSS properties will support your journey. You'll also need at least a beginner level of comprehension with JavaScript and its ES6 syntax. Knowing how to declare and manipulate strings, numbers, arrays, and objects will save you from many headaches, as well as understanding how to call and pass arguments to JavaScript functions.
about the book
D3.js in Action, Third Edition is an extensive update to Manning's bestselling guide to data visualization. It smoothes the steep learning curve of D3.js, helping you gradually progress through fundamental concepts until you can build any visualization you can imagine! You’ll assemble an impressive portfolio, from simple bar charts to intricate networks and maps. Along the way, you'll pick up best practices for building interactive graphics, animations, and integrating your work into frontend development frameworks like React and Svelte.
