Effective & Beautiful Data Visualization
Wed 15th – 14:00
The amount of data being gathered keeps growing. And since humans are visual beings, we need to see data to understand patterns, trends, and outliers. That's why data visualizations are everywhere on the web.
In this talk, Nadieh shows how to create a unique, effective (and even beautiful) chart using D3.js. Starting from an empty browser window, she codes live and walks you through the building blocks of a visualization: from working with data and SVG, to shaping, scaling, and refining the chart.
Along the way, she shares practical tips, common pitfalls, and a few "why didn't I think of that?" tricks for using SVG in unexpected ways — so you can turn your own data into something clear, useful, and a little delightful.
