D3 Workshop

This was a workshop I taught 5 years ago.

It is deprecated, and the javascript world has certainly moved on from here. That said, the color theory slides and general outline still stand the test of time.

Prerequisites

This is a lightweight Node/Express app which provides a nice sketchpad for playing around with d3.js.

You'll need:

To Run

  1. cd src then use npm install to install the necessary dependencies.
  2. gulp serve will start server/app.js and browser-sync. This will launch a browser pointing to the start of the lecture.

Using the D3 Sketchpad

The relevant javascript you will want to look at to follow along is located in: src/wwwroot/js/

It is designed for rapid prototyping. For example you can add a scratchpad20.js to src/wwwroot/js and use d3.js and Material Design Light. Your script will be immediately available at the route: http://localhost:3000/scratchpad/20.

How To

You'll want to select the 'time-series' ID in d3. That will give you a nice fresh div with lots of space to design in d3!

var svg = d3.select('#time-series').append('svg')
