Welcome! d3 visuals look great. But they can be challenging to build. And I spend more time than I want to admit finding a bl.ocks.org that’s close to what I want, then messing with it until it does what I want. And I’m still not sure why it does what it does.
So this site is dedicated to sharing d3 visuals that are simple, d.r.y., and well-documented.
“Begin at the beginning,” the King said, very gravely, “and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”

Each tutorial builds on previous ones. I strive to explain every line, and each concept. Skip through the sections that you don’t need. Let me know if I don’t explain something, or explain it well.
I hope that these posts will help you extend your skills, solve a problem in your own code, or build something that you’re proud of. I welcome your ideas.
Do good!
