Good to know. I got the free 1st Chapter and am considering the entire book. D3.js is awesome. You buy the std or the deluxe version?

- ahstilde 7y agoI've gotten the React and RN books from FullStack. I reference them regularly because they're both great workbooks and reference books. I'm sure Wattenberger's D3.js book is similarly exceptional.
- fjp 7y agoWhat kind of experience level would you recommend the React book too? I've done small frontends in Angular 1, pure JS, jQuery, and fiddled around with newer Angular and Vue. While I found Vue pretty intuitive, I kind of got stuck jumping from the little tutorial components to a full page - how to organzie components, the code modules themselves, etc. It seems React is eating the frontend world, so I've always kind of kept it on my to-to list.
- wattenberger 7y agoit is! and thank you for submitting this to hn, I really appreciate it To give you a bit of context, the _large_ majority of people buy the advanced package (which really surprised me). The advanced package really just tries to bring all of your new knowledge together, going over d3 + React and d3 + Angular. It also has detailed walkthroughs of 3 complex data vizes, which could be really helpful. But both versions give you a great foundation to build off of.
- slowhand09 7y agoI've been a lurker on FlowingData for a while and envy the vis practicioners that produce so much of this stuff. And My fav has always been the d3 stuff. But alas, I left development behind years ago for database and architectural work. If I make time to buy a copy and work it perhaps I'll write a review from a newbie perspective.
