Gone are the days when we used creative HTML table tricks to show a bar chart or resorted to saving static images from Excel. In this talk, we will cover the modern data visualization landscape and take a peek into the future.
40. D3.js
D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating documents
based on data. D3 helps you bring data to life using
HTML, SVG, and CSS. D3’s emphasis on web standards
gives you the full capabilities of modern browsers without
tying yourself to a proprietary framework, combining
powerful visualization components and a data-driven
approach to DOM manipulation.
43. Storytelling
“The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell
you how to think, but to give you questions
to think upon.”
--Brandon Sanderson, fantasy and science fiction writer
