Interactive Data Visualization for the Web

Book Description

Create and publish your own interactive data visualization projects on the Web, even if you have no experience with either web development or data visualization. It’s easy with this hands-on guide. You’ll start with an overview of data visualization concepts and simple web technologies, and then learn how to use D3, a JavaScript library that lets you express data as visual elements in a web page.

Interactive Data Visualization for the Web makes these skills available at an introductory level for designers and visual artists without programming experience, journalists interested in the emerging data journalism processes, and others keenly interested in visualization and publicly available data sources.
