Overview of this book

This book is a practical hands-on introduction to D3 (Data-driven Documents): the most popular open-source JavaScript library for creating interactive web-based data visualizations. Based entirely on open web standards, D3 provides an integrated collection of tools for efficiently binding data to graphical elements. If you have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can use D3.js to create beautiful interactive web-based data visualizations. D3 is not a charting library. It doesn’t contain any pre-defined chart types, but can be used to create whatever visual representations of data you can imagine. The goal of this book is to introduce D3 and provide a learning path so that you obtain a solid understanding of its fundamental concepts, learn to use most of its modules and functions, and gain enough experience to create your own D3 visualizations. You will learn how to create bar, line, pie and scatter charts, trees, dendograms, treemaps, circle packs, chord/ribbon diagrams, sankey diagrams, animated network diagrams, and maps using different geographical projections. Fundamental concepts are explained in each chapter and then applied to a larger example in step-by-step tutorials, complete with full code, from hundreds of examples you can download and run. This book covers D3 version 5 and is based on ES2015 JavaScript.

Preface

This book was created as a guide to help you learn and explore D3.js. Its goal is to provide a learning path so that you obtain a solid understanding of its fundamental concepts, learn to use most of its modules and functions, and gain enough experience to create your own D3 visualizations.

Fundamental concepts are explained in each chapter and then applied to larger examples in step-by-step tutorials. There are hundreds of examples you can download and run.

Code listings are used throughout the book, but most of the time they focus on a specific feature and show only a fragment of the full code. But you can always download the full listing. All the code examples used in the book are available from a public GitHub repository (see details below). You can try out all the code examples as you learn. You can also use it in any way you like since it's free and open source.

This book covers the basic and advanced features of D3. By the time you finish reading this book, having practiced with the code examples, I believe you will have a very good and solid knowledge of this library.
