Description

Using D3.js and Responsive Design principles, you will not just be able to implement visualizations that look and feel awesome across all devices and screen resolutions, but you will also boost your productivity and reduce development time by making use of Bootstrap—the most popular framework for developing responsive web applications. This book teaches the basics of scalable vector graphics (SVG), D3.js, and Bootstrap while focusing on Responsive Design as well as mobile-first visualizations; the reader will start by discovering Bootstrap and how it can be used for creating responsive applications, and then implement a basic bar chart in D3.js. You will learn about loading, parsing, and filtering data in JavaScript and then dive into creating a responsive visualization by using Media Queries, responsive interactions for Mobile and Desktop devices, and transitions to bring the visualization to life. In the following chapters, we build a fully responsive interactive map to display geographic data using GeoJSON and set up integration testing with Protractor to test the application across real devices using a mobile API gateway such as AWS Device Farm. You will finish the journey by discovering the caveats of mobile-first applications and learn how to master cross-browser complications.

Great resource for kick-starting any development in data visualization. The author clearly has a lot of experience in field. and the book is written in an approachable manner. Code snippets are usually accompanied by images representing the output of the code, which is very helpful. A great deal of emphasis is place upon established javascript conventions. However, readers should be familiar with the basics of programming as the book jumps straight into visualization concepts. 5/5

+ short, concise, comprehensible, simple- occasionally too short and simple+ many links for further reading to official documentation or interesting blog entries+ utilizing non-invasive text boxes throughout the chapters.+ The author understands how to direct the reader's attention at the important parts of the technologies introduced.+ Visualizations of examples AND concepts very helpfulBook audience: intermediate at HTML, CSS, JavaScript; Beginner of D3.js

Christoph Körner publishes a book very well suited for beginners.Starting with the basics (media queries, plotting options in the browser) he continues to explain how to create shapes in D3.I like that data wrangling is explained as usually data will need to be grouped or re-formatted to be useful for visualization in D3.Choosing the right resolution of the data for real responsiveness is covered as well.In my opinion, this book is targeted at beginners starting out with responsive data visualization. As such I really like that Christoph is covering everything from the basics onwards.As responsive visualization is important for web-applications I am missing a chapter of how to integrate D3 with a popular web framework like Angular.
