Explore the power of D3.js 5 and its integration with web technologies for building rich and interactive data visualization solutions

Key Features

  • Explore the latest D3.js 5 for creating charts, plots, and force-directed graphics
  • Practical guide for creating interactive graphics and data-driven apps with JavaScript
  • Build Real-time visualization and transition on web using SVG with D3.js

Book Description

This book is a practical hands-on introduction to D3 (Data-driven Documents): the most popular open-source JavaScript library for creating interactive web-based data visualizations. Based entirely on open web standards, D3 provides an integrated collection of tools for efficiently binding data to graphical elements. If you have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can use D3.js to create beautiful interactive web-based data visualizations.

D3 is not a charting library. It doesn't contain any pre-defined chart types, but can be used to create whatever visual representations of data you can imagine. The goal of this book is to introduce D3 and provide a learning path so that you obtain a solid understanding of its fundamental concepts, learn to use most of its modules and functions, and gain enough experience to create your own D3 visualizations. You will learn how to create bar, line, pie and scatter charts, trees, dendograms, treemaps, circle packs, chord/ribbon diagrams, sankey diagrams, animated network diagrams, and maps using different geographical projections. Fundamental concepts are explained in each chapter and then applied to a larger example in step-by-step tutorials, complete with full code, from hundreds of examples you can download and run.

This book covers D3 version 5 and is based on ES2015 JavaScript.

What you will learn

  • Learn to use D3.js version 5 and web standards to create beautiful interactive data-driven visualizations for the web
  • Bind data to DOM elements, applying different scales, color schemes and configuring smooth animated transitions for data updates
  • Generate data structures and layouts for many popular chart formats
  • Apply interactive behaviors to any chart
  • Create thematic maps based on GIS data using different geographical projections with interactive behaviors
  • Load, parse and transform data from JSON and CSV formats

Who this book is for

The book is intended for web developers, web designers, data scientists, artists, and any developer who wish to create interactive data visualization for the Web using D3. The book assumes basic knowledge of HTML, CSs, and JavaScript.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2019
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is a fabulous book! At over 600 pages, it's not for the faint-hearted however. By that I mean da Rocha goes into a lot of detail about all things D3-related from SVGs to scales to axes to colors etc. While each chapter can be hard going at times - owing to the aforementioned level of detail - you can't beat this book if you want a thorough understanding of D3. (I tend to read it alongside Bostock's own voluminous notes as I'm a big proponent of familiarizing yourself with the source code/notes.) Finally, da Rocha "rewards" your efforts by wrapping up each chapter with a brilliant yet relatively simple visualization that uses everything you've learned in that particular chapter. (I should probably add that every chapter comes with code, and it's clear that da Rocha has put a lot of time and effort into writing and explaining this code.) And what's more, these visualizations are really attractive - he nails everything including fairly mundane things like the look of the tooltips box. (By way of background, I buy lots of JavaScript/Python/R-related books on Amazon but I've never bothered reviewing any till this one.)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great teacher. Great book.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2020
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I spent ton of money buying so many d3.js books --I own almost more than 1/2 the books on d3 in Amazon! Many scratch the surface and leave a lot to be desired. Some are utterly ridiculous & horrible --D3.js in Action comes to mind!

    Mike Bostock's articles are great in my experience. Only thing is, it is not as "quick": you have to read a lot, which is okay once you are deep in your project and need to learn a specific aspect of d3. How all the pieces fit together, and how to put a quick proof of concept together? Get this book. It teaches you a quite a bit. In fact, most readers may not need to reference Bostock's prolific code examples unless you need to do something which requires you to "go to the core".

    Page after page, the author's explanation never degrades in quality, and is a pleasure to read. He knows the subject pretty well, and knows what you would want to know, and he knows the best possible way to express it.

    I use d3 extensively at my job and this book helped me understand and use the library with ease. I read it from front to middle and after that just read the relevant sections for each task as they were needed. Very helpful. Clearly written and very thorough.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Alot of Material, but Also Alot of Repetitions
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2020
    Format: Kindle
    I purchased this book not on Amazon, but on packt.com because they include the epub version. However, I wanted to say few word regarding it.

    The book definitely covers D3 in depth. However, there are several things that I am really unhappy about. First, I really don't like the way the author used small snippets of code throughout the book that are broken down to many repetitious code samples. I, probably like many others, code while going through a book. However, this is virtually impossible because I have to create the same boilerplate of code over and over that are 90% the same. I wish that the author consolidated the various samples into major topics and cover it step by step. This will make it much easier to follow. Second, the explanations are unnecessary verbose. Things that could be easily explained and delivered are dragged on for couple of paragraphs and same things are repeated. Also, the book feels very disorganized. Usually when I go through a book, I feel a sense of natural progression from beginning/easy to more difficult/complex material that teaches me the stuff that I need to know to tackle the harder subject. This book doesn't really have that. Third and last, the quality of the book is something to be desired for. When I purchase a book of this size and depth, I usually am planning to use it as a sort of reference after I go through it couple of times. Therefore, I pay special attention to the actual physical quality of the book. This books definitely feels under-par compared to other books that I purchased for similar price.

    I read the book from Packt Publishing website to get started with D3.js. I first tried to follow couple of other resources but they weren't as good as this one. Would definetely recommend it. It comes with lots of hands on examples with it.

    Considering the amount of money this book cost the quality of the printing is pretty poor.

    The cover looks like its been digitally printed on the cheapest photo paper by your local fax copier shop and all the pages feel like they're out of a photocopier machine. Really disappointing.

    They really stand out as substandard when compared to other books Ive bought over the last 30 years. If they last over time I will be astonished, Packt, what you doing ?!
