Computational Skills for Researchers: Intro to D3 Two-Day Workshop

Event ended

Instructor: Frank Elavsky, Data Visualization Specialist, Research Computing Services
Data isn't very powerful if you don't have an audience to share it with. This is why d3.js (a JavaScript library) is the most important tool for building fully customizable, web-facing visualizations. D3 makes your data as accessible, interactive, and visually-driven as any webpage. Contrary to other tools or frameworks, d3 is not a microwavable meal but more of a cookbook and a kitchen full of ingredients. 
Due to the expertise necessary to get started using d3, this is a two-part workshop with attendance limited to 15 participants. The first workshop will focus on learning the basics of d3 and what makes it so powerful, along with a hands-on portion building your first graph. Following off of this, the second workshop is primarily hands-on, where users will be expected to solve a difficult visualization problem using d3 (so attendance at both is strongly encouraged).
Do not register for this workshop unless you are able to attend BOTH parts.
2/20, 3-5pm
2/27, 3-5pm
Please bring your own laptop and ensure you have the latest version of Chrome installed.  You will need a text editor as well, such as Sublime, Atom, Notepad++ or equivalent.  If you are unfamiliar with the basics of html and css, you may also want to take the Web Fundamentals workshop.

NOTE: The workshop is free, but there is a $10 fee to register because spaces are limited.  The fee will be refunded as long as you show up for the workshop or cancel at least 1 day before the workshop starts.  If you do not have a credit card but want to register, please contact Melanie Wilson at melanie.wilson@northwestern.edu.
