D3.js (http://d3js.org/) is a data visualization framework written in JavaScript that (usually) utilizes SVG to create compelling results. Since the output is purely standards based, visualizations work in all modern browsers, including mobile. This presentation will introduce the foundational concepts and constructs of D3.js, showing attendees how to build some simple, common visualizations and laying the groundwork for exploring more advanced topics and solutions.
