First Talk: D3.js
Leading web sites such as the New York Times, Le Monde, and New Scientist build extraordinary interactive data visualizations using the open source D3.js library. You can too, but you might be put off by the library's reputation for a steep learning curve. Fortunately that reputation is not well-deserved. There are only a few key concepts underlying D3.js, and once you grasp those, you'll find that D3.js has very few limitations. This presentation is less of a tutorial on creating specific visualization using D3.js; the web has plenty of those. Rather, it describes the overall philosophy behind D3.js and the key principles essential to understanding and using it.

Heidi, that's correct. You get a couple hours free so it shouldn't be expensive.
