about the technology
D3.js is the powerful jаvascript library behind the most innovative and sophisticated data visualizations on the web today. It provides a simple but powerful data visualization API over HTML, CSS, SVG, and Canvas. Start with a structure, dataset, or algorithm. Mix in D3, and you can programmatically generate static, animated, or interactive images that scale to any screen or browser. You'll be blown away by how beautiful your results can be!

D3.js was created to fill a pressing need for web-accessible, sophisticated data visualizations. Let’s say your company is using a Business Intelligence tool, but it doesn’t show the kind of patterns in the data that your team needs. You have to build a custom dashboard that shows exactly how your customers are behaving, tailored for your specific domain. That dashboard needs to be fast, interactive, and shareable around the organization. D3 would be a natural choice for such a project.

D3.js affords developers the capacity to make not only richly interactive applications but also applications that are styled and served like traditional web content. This makes them more portable, more amenable to growth, and more easily maintained by large groups where other team members don’t know the specific syntax of D3 but, for instance, can use CSS to style the data visualization elements.

about the book
D3.js in Action, Third Edition is an extensive update to Manning's bestselling guide to data visualization. It smoothes the steep learning curve of D3.js, helping you gradually progress through fundamental concepts until you can build any visualization you can imagine! You’ll assemble an impressive portfolio, from simple bar charts to intricate networks and maps. Along the way, you'll pick up best practices for building interactive graphics, animations, and integrating your work into frontend development frameworks like React and Svelte.
