AN INTRODUCTION TO DESIGNING WITH D3

Praise for

Interactive Data Visualization for the Web

There are few books that I’d call “game-changers.”

Interactive Data Visualization for the

Web

is one of them. It takes a topic that is obscure and hard to grasp for noncoders, and it

transforms it into a delightful experience—full of clarity, fun, and insight. It’s the book

that I recommend to all of my students to get started with d3.js.

Scott Murray is pioneering a new approach to design—combining deep knowledge of

both code and visual principles to create work that is at once extraordinarily beautiful,

highly interactive, and coherently integrated. What’s more, he’s a teacher who generously

shares his knowledge. And now, he’s revised his wonderful book

Interactive Data

Visualization for the Web—a

foundational text for designers and anyone else

dealing with the coming onrush of data.

—Hugh

Dubberly,

Principal, Dubberly Design Office

We have been using Scott’s book in our CS171 Visualization course at Harvard for the

past three years. It is, by far, the most comprehensive and best introduction to D3 out

there. The tone of the book is conversational, and it is easily accessible by nonexperts and

beginners. Our students like it, and I believe they benefit from having

the materials presented in the order that Scott came up with.

We are definitely looking forward to the next edition!

The first edition has simply been the most complete, effective, single source for learning

D3 and visualization on the web from scratch. I have recommended it countless times.

—Erik

Cunningham,

Software Engineer, Twitter

I can’t think of a better way to understand D3. It’s funny and engaging for a

nonprogrammer, deep and detailed for an engineer, and filled with practical

and visual bliss for the designer.

Scott Murray is the master of making technical instruction entertaining and fun.

I wish more books were written like this.

Interactive Data Visualization for the Web,

based on Scott’s outstanding online tutorials,

remains the clearest and most accessible introduction to D3. It’s even moderately funny.

—Kevin

Quealy,

Graphics Editor,

The New York Times

I recommended the first edition to countless people, technical and nontechnical alike.

Scott’s ability to articulate key concepts concisely to a broad audience, without

oversimplifying, is unparalleled and refreshingly jargon-free. The first go-to book in the

canon of web-based data visualization? Definitely.

I have a bookshelf behind my desk full of reference books; but Scott Murray’s book is

never on that shelf, because it’s constantly on my desk.

—Gail

Zuniga,

Information Designer

I. Love. This. Book. In classes, bootcamps, and tutorials, I’ve worked hard to learn

JavaScript in many ways. Nothing has been clearer or easier to work with than this book.

I understand D3 and JavaScript better than ever before.

—Wesley

Ratko,

Geospatial Data Analyst

The most accessible introduction to d3 so far—invaluable for teaching purposes.

—Alan

Smith,

Data Visualization Editor,

Financial Times

I learned the basics of D3 from Scott Murray’s book, which offers clear and fun guidance.

I have since been recommending it to all my design students.

Scott makes the process of learning D3 both pleasant and effective.

—Isabel

Meirelles,

Professor, OCAD University

This book is

the

definitive guide to D3. I use this book for every data visualization class

that I teach at USF. Students love the comprehensive coverage of the material

as well as the detailed examples.

—Alark

Joshi,

Associate Professor of Computer Science,

University of San Francisco

D3 is only easy if you learn it in the right order. Scott is a talented teacher and knows how

to progressively go from the very beginning to a deep understanding of the fundamental

concepts. There are many excellent books around, but this one is the place to start.

—Christophe

Viau,

Data Visualization Engineer

Scott Murray’s book is probably the most iconic book out there. It was the perfect starting

point on my journey up the steep learning curve. Scott doesn’t push or drag you up that

curve, he walks alongside and explains each step in an intelligible and—most important

for the big-eyed novice—friendly way.

—Lars

Verspohl,

Data Visualization Designer and Developer,

D3 has a unique data model which makes it very expressive and powerful, but it can be

difficult to learn if you’re coming to it from other JavaScript libraries or visualization

tools. Scott Murray’s book patiently yet efficiently walks the reader through examples that

establish a firm understanding of the fundamentals of D3. I continue to recommend

Scott’s book to colleagues four years after its introduction.

I know of no better way to learn D3.

—Andrew

Brown,

Data Scientist, SiteZeus

This book was the starting point for my career in data visualization. Based upon the

foundations I got from working through all the examples I have gotten multiple jobs and

had my work reach millions of people. Anytime someone asks

for an introduction to D3, I point them here.
