Data Visualization Strategies and Digital Cartography (D3)
Jeffrey Tharsen, Scientific Programming Consultant, Research Computing Center
Tuesday, April 12, 2016, 2 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. | Kathleen A. Zar Room, John Crerar Library
This workshop provides a theoretical and practical introduction to data visualization strategies based on the Data Driven Document (D3) platform (see github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Gallery for sample projects). We will discuss best practices for graphic presentation of data in general, and then evaluate the capabilities of this new toolkit as we review the wide variety of data visualizations it makes possible, from simple graphs and charts to three-dimensional data projections and digital cartography.
