This course seeks to take you on a journey to learn to create beautiful visualizations of information using D3. js. D3. js, where D3 stands for data-driven documents, is an amazing JavaScript library which is known among data analysts, engineers, mathematicians, and developers worldwide as an advanced data visualization tool. Its ability to bring data to life in the form of graphics is what has made it so widespread in its use, scope, and popularity. If you want to create interactive charts, data trees, infographics, geospatial charts, and maps efficiently, then this course is your ideal choice to master interactive data visualization with D3. js V4. This course includes a number of extensive examples to help you hone your skills with data visualization using D3. js. Throughout the course these examples will help you acquire a clear practical understanding of the various techniques, tools, and functionality provided by D3. js. You will first setup your D3. js development environment and learn the basic patterns needed to visualize your data. You will then learn techniques to optimize different processes such as working with selections, animating data transitions, creating graphs and charts, integrating external resources (static as well as streaming), visualizing information on maps, working with colors and scales, utilizing the different D3. js APIs, and more. This course will also guide you through creating custom graphs and visualizations, and show you how to go from the raw data to beautiful visualizations. The extensive examples will include working with complex and real time data streams, such as seismic data, geospatial data, scientific data, and more. Finally, you will build five unique data visualization projects to get a complete hold of the topic. Contents and OverviewThis training program includes 3 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible. The first course, Creating Data Visualization with D3, will help you acquire a clear practical understanding of the various techniques, tools and functionality provided by D3. js. You will first setup your D3. JS development environment and learn the basic patterns needed to visualize your data. After that you will learn techniques to optimize different processes such animating data transitions, creating charts, and much more. You will also learn how to create custom graphs and visualizations, and how to go from the raw data to beautiful visualizations. In the second course, Applied Data Visualization with D3, you will learn techniques to optimize different processes such as animating data transitions, creating graphs and charts, integrating external resources (static as well as streaming), visualizing information on maps, working with colors and scales, utilizing the different D3. js APIs, and more. The extensive examples will include working with complex and real time data streams. You will also learn to add custom shapes and paths using various D3 functionality. In the third course, D3. js Data Visualization Projects, you will build two complete applications with D3. js. While you create apps from scratch, you will learn to implement the various features of D3. js. The projects start with a simple chart app, then move on to creating scalable data-intensive apps, typically dedicated to the big data domain. You will also create a complex business app that lets you feed your data and create interactive real time visualizations with various export options. By the end of this course, you will have developed a strong foundation in D3. js and would be able to create breathtaking visualizations of data using its vast library.
