Guru Session: D3 Datavisualization Hackathon!
- January 19 · 10:00 AM
Appsterdam Guru Sessions are informal, very hands-on workshops to share a technology or a technique between App Makers. Explanation from your peers, open discussion and practical experience are key to these sessions.
The D3 Javascript Library is used for building data driven documents and visualizations, but the learning curve is pretty steep. This session will be a shared learning experience: Vincent D. Warmerdam will provide some data and challenges, attendees will break up into teams and tackle them with D3. At points during the day you'll share lessons, and at the end show off your great results!
Agenda:
10:00-10:30: Doors open, participants sign in
10:30-11:30: Short D3 introduction, sample data set (hint: we will try to conquer the world with this dataset)
11:30: Break into teams and get to work!
19:00-20:00: Final presentations and sharing
This session is meant for a technical audience, dataminers and developers. Dataviz people and designers are welcome too, but keep in mind everyone will be exploring a new library so you shouldn't be afraid to jump into the Javascript and you should be familiar with code.
If you are a javascript expert and if you have familiarity with (google) maps, know that you are VERY welcome to join the fun. If you want to prepare for the session you may to try this first tutorial: http://alignedleft.com/tutorials/d3/
(You can also bring your own datasets and challenges to tackle)

We talked yesterday about, D3, phonegap and touchevents. I found out that the new release of D3 comes with support for these events.

nice example. you would still have to create a visualisation that uses mouseclick events instead of mouseover events to make te viz interactive. really like the example though, thanks for sharing!

Great subject, and the group was really innovative and enthusiastic. The only criticism I have is for the gentleman who had considerable background in D3 already. He inturrupted the process far too many times and often offered advice that made no sense.

Door medische familieomstandigheden kan ik niet aanwezig zijn. Misschien dat ik later op de dag kans zie even langs te komen. Erg jammer.
