Workshop announcement: d3.js for Interactive Data Visualization
Who: Emily Dolson (lead instructor) and C. Titus Brown
When: December 4, 2015
Times: 9 am-12:15 pm
Where: Bennett Room, UC Davis Campus
Description:
Want to make pretty, dynamic, and interactive data visualizations like http://charts.animateddata.co.uk/ukwind/ andhttp://mbostock.github.io/d3/talk/20111116/iris-splom.html? D3 (which stands for Data Driven Documents) is a Javascript library that enables you to display data in a flexible way. Since it's a Javascript library, these visualizations can easily be shared either offline or via the internet. The option to add interactive elements to your visualization lends itself to making your data easy for others to explore. We'll be running a 3-hour workshop covering the basics of using d3.js to visualize data. No prior web programming experience required (we'll teach you the necessary Javascript and html), but this workshop is aimed at people who already feel comfortable programming in at least one language.
This workshop will be taught remotely at Michigan State University and broadcast to our classroom using Google Hangouts. There will be helpers in the room to facilitate the lessons.
