Could you elaborate on the best way to get started with this specifically? Any articles/tutorials you'd recommend?
I've been meaning to forever but both svgs and d3 are complex enough I'm not sure where to start.
- slaymaker1907 6y agoI would recommend starting with plain SVG and then exploring D3 after. It's best to think of D3 as a combination of jQuery and a geometry library. For starting with SVGs, just look for a simple tutorial like https://www.w3schools.com/graphics/svg_intro.asp https://www.w3schools.com/graphics/svg_intro.asp to get a simple template, but focus on learning the path element. The path element is both foundational to a lot of custom SVG stuff and isn't too complicated, sort of like the Basic of graphics.
- hrishi 6y agoThanks! Really appreciated. I've gotten the hang of SVGs, is MBostock's blog still the best place to start with D3?
