D3 (Data Driven Documents) is an open source Javascript library that
is widely used by data experts, creative technologists, and scholars to
create and share many different kinds of data visualizations on the web.
D3 is a “web-first” visualization library, making it a great tool for
creating an interactive visualization that can be embedded in a larger
digital project. This workshop will introduce the basics of setting up a
project and displaying a simple visualization with a small dataset, and
will cover syntax and conventions that are useful to know for all
visualizations in D3. Because we will be writing some Javascript, this
workshop is suitable for folks who have a bit of programming experience
or are feeling adventurous about beginning to learn to code.
This workshop is part of the (Open) Data Jam hosted by the Libraries'
Research Data and Digital Scholarship unit. Participants will be
emailed a Zoom link the day before the workshop.
