SUMMARYMiles McCrocklin: "Backend MV* Frameworks + Reusable d3.js"
Sadly, not all of us are able to re-write our application from scratch and play with a front-end MV* framework. This talk will focus on building reusable and maintainable d3.js visualizations. It will also give some references to libraries that currently are reusable. While also giving a very high level overview of serving the data.

Jyri Tuulos: "Build your own reusable charts with plain D3 and Backbone.js"
There are many isolated examples of D3 visualizations that work well as a long unstructured piece of JavaScript code. However, when used as a part of a larger web app reusability and modularity becomes crucial. In his talk Jyri will cover building object-oriented D3 charts using Views in Backbone.js. Main topics include structuring the code, the distribution of responsibilities between the libraries and extending chart classes from a single base class.

Chris Viau: "Book about the Reusable API"
A team of D3 addicts wrote a book sprint about one way of implementing the Reusable API, testing it and using it to develop a complete application. Chris will explain some high-level concepts explained in this book and will go into the dirty details if you really want him to.
