Exploring Data Visualization with d3.js

On this episode, we talk with Amelia Wat­ten­berg­er, a fron­tend & UX devel­op­er at Parse​.ly about data visu­al­iza­tion aka dataviz.

We dis­cuss the ori­gins of dataviz, and how it can be used to tell a nar­ra­tive with the imme­di­a­cy and vis­cer­al con­nec­tion that can be dif­fi­cult to do with oth­er mediums.

We dis­cuss Ameli­a’s per­son­al approach to dataviz, and dis­cuss the d3.js library at length. d3.js is a broad library of mod­ules that you can use as a dataviz con­struc­tion kit, and we dis­cuss how to get start­ing doing just that!
