Interested in learning how to use d3.js?
Shirley Wu is excited to introduce you to d3 with an interactive tour of the basics! Bring your laptop and your thinking cap, you will be getting your hands dirty. Follow along as Shirley helps you get over the first major learning curve in d3: selections. You don't need to have coding experience to follow along, just a little familiarity with HTML & CSS.

Shirley currently works at security company Illumio, visualizing application traffic and building visual tools for writing security policies. She is a semi-frequenter of the Bay Area D3 User Group, and builds silly #datavizzy things on the side. She also gives talks sometimes.

$5 - $20 Sliding-Scale entry. Please pay what you can! Gray Area Foundation For the Arts is a non-profit community space that fosters Art and Technology events, projects and education such as our recent d3.unconf. Your entry fee supports their continued efforts.

This is the second event in a series of educational lectures. We hope that the knowledge and connections gained from the night will be well worth the entry. We will also continue to operate completely free events supported by local companies as usual.
