I am a total javascript hater but reading just half of the "drawing with data" chapter made me go to the order page (just to see the print edition is not out yet). I really like the style.
seems like I will use d3 instead of gnuplot or gnumeric for even my simple graphing needs in the future. so much control in easy ways and of course that being automateble (as opposed to manually clicking in gnumeric). there might be other ways with python etc but D3 looks fun and hip and dynamic and useful for web stuff so I am sold.

- dirkk0 14y agovery cool! thanks for plugging this!
- alignedleft 14y agoThanks for the kind words. My goal with this book is to make the content friendly and approachable. If I can convert a single JavaScript hater, then I have exceeded my own expectations. :-)
- jufo 14y agoI'm having a quick read through (3 chapters so far) and I think it is beautifully written. (quite a few broken images in the SVG parts of chapter 3 at present) Edit: just purchased the eBook, and the images are fine in the PDF.
- alignedleft 14y agoThanks! Yes, I hope to get the images on the online version cleaned up, but they should appear correctly in the ebook version.
