Something to learn... #4

Hi Soph,

Here's something worth learning - especially if you're going down the data track:

https://d3js.org/

e.g. http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4636377

Hi Chris,

Thanks, looks very interesting! Have you used it?

Until I learn JavaScript, Bokeh looks like something similar for python? Oh and Plotly is good too, I've played around with it a little. As far as I can tell, Plotly makes D3.js charts and you can use python to do it.

Hi Soph,

I haven't used d3 yet but have heard it is widely used in commercial GIS analysis related things so thought it would be good to get a (basic) grounding in.

Very neat - I hadn't heard about Bokeh which would be much easier to pick up in a short time frame. There looks to be a nice way of getting your code into html too by the looks of it.

For even more inspiration along the infographics train of thought, this is well worth a read.

Chris
