    When I turned to d3, the learning curve felt so steep. But this course is a great catalyst for learning d3js.

    I've always had trouble translating what is in my head onto the screen but I feel more confident creating my own things now

    Hey! I'm Amelia, the author of this course.

    I'm a front-end developer at The Pudding

    Over the past ten years that I've been visualizing data, I've been perfecting my method and collecting helpful tricks. I'm here to jump-start your own journey!

    In Fullstack D3 and Data Visualization, I distill my hard-earned knowledge into bite-sized lessons.

    We'll start making charts right away, and learn new concepts and design theory as we go.

    D3 Weather Radar X-Ray Image

    Charts communicate ideas with simplicity, clarity, and detail.

    Once you're comfortable with D3 you can quickly:

    • understand key metrics at a glance
    • catch anomalies (before they turn into problems)
    • give key insights to your customers
    • and impress your boss and co-workers

    Today, I will show you the exact methods I use to create beautiful, understandable data visualizations using D3.

    This is the first book (on coding) that I actually learned something from and I built my first visualization within 30 minutes.

    That took away a lot of my hesitation. I think you did an amazing job!
