The Hitchhiker’s Guide to D3.js
- aaronhoffman 9y agoGreat article, even for those with some experience already. Thought I'd drop this here: site I helped create that uses d3 to create interactive visualizations from csv files https://www.sizzleanalytics.com/ https://www.sizzleanalytics.com/
- degenerate 9y agoOh, very very cool!
- cookiecaper 9y agoLooks similar to https://thegamma.net https://thegamma.net .
- mistermann 9y agoWatched the demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auIdJfTKfWo&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auIdJfTKfWo&feature=youtu.be Really impressive!
- jlg23 9y agoThis is by far the best introduction to D3 I've ever seen.
- bluetwo 9y agoI needed to quickly create a graph in the browser that updated as a simulation ran, and found using Dimple along with d3 was quick and easy. http://dimplejs.org http://dimplejs.org
- wiradikusuma 9y agoThe guide does a good job of, "here's some concept, explained in order". But after finished reading I'm left with the question, "So how do I start?" (especially making use of the concepts already explained in sequence, e.g. d3-scale -> d3-shape -> d3.selection) It's like reading a list of concepts for some new programming language, and then you get the idea, but then there's no, "You need to download the IDE here, create a Main.mylang file, and type func main(args) {...}, and click Run"
- stared 9y agoIf anyone is learning D3.js, I tried to collect most on useful resources here: http://p.migdal.pl/2016/02/09/d3js-icm-kfnrd.html http://p.migdal.pl/2016/02/09/d3js-icm-kfnrd.html
- jack9 9y agoI loved D3 until I used highcharts. I find highscharts just fits the general case better and has options that are straightforward to enable/implement, comparatively. Here's a completely worthless comparison article (one of many): https://www.slant.co/versus/10577/11579/~d3-js_vs_highcharts https://www.slant.co/versus/10577/11579/~d3-js_vs_highcharts
