Description:

Web-based visualization is gaining popularity thanks to its wide availability and ease of use. In this toolkit you will discover the basics of D3.js, a Javascript library that helps create powerful visualizations on the web. D3 lets you combine data from multiple sources and gives you full control on the final look of your data.

We will go through the steps needed to set up a basic development environment, create a simple visualization, and make it accessible to other people online. All you need to follow along are your laptop with your favorite browser and text editor installed.

The Researcher's Toolkit is a technology workshop series designed to help Northwestern researchers improve scholarly productivity and efficiency in the areas of programming, data analysis, scientific computing, data management, publication skills, and GIS.
