This course will help anyone who has some javascript familiarity get comfortable creating rich, animated, interactive experiences with D3. If you have worked with jQuery, for instance, you can easily work with D3.
Your instructor, Bill Shander, is a self-taught programmer with over 25 years experience doing data visualization. He remembers how confusing and intimidating it can be to learn a new technical skill. This course uses simple language, not technical lingo, and walks through everything step by step, explaining every minute detail. Even if you don't know any javascript, you should be able to follow along with the lessons, even if it might be a little confusing at times.
All of the code used in the videos are available for download under "Class Project" to help you follow along. Please note that you will need to be running a web server for most of this course as D3 cannot load data files via local paths. I recommend using a Bitnami MAMP stack or a similar local dev server - whatever is easiest for you to setup.
This course has been updated to work with D3 V 5.
The class is the project - you will learn how to create an animated, interactive scatterplot using D3.js. Use the attached code to follow along, coding as you watch the course - that is the single best way to learn how to program!
