Hey d3 meetup members,

Thanks for the great turnout for the January meetup! We would like to give a shout out to both our awesome presenters! If you were not able to attend, the slides for both presentations have been posted on the meetup page.

Please note, this will be our last meetup at Pivotal for a while as they are moving locations. If you know of a space that can accommodate our group please put me in touch with them.

If you are interested in giving a presentation, please reach out to Natalie/Amit with the details. We are looking for innovative, engaging and fun subject matter to share with the meetup. We are looking for both presentations and tutorials.

Below are the details for our February meetup. We are really looking forward to this talk and hope to see you all there!

Talk 1:

Title:

bqplot: A d3-js based interactive plotting library for the Jupyter Notebook

Description:

bqplot is a Python plotting library based on d3.js that offers its functionality directly in the Jupyter Notebook, including selections, interactions, and arbitrary css customization. In bqplot, every element of a chart is an interactive widget that can be bound to a python function, which serves as the callback when an interaction takes place. This allows the user to generate full fledged interactive applications directly in the Notebook with just a few lines of Python code. The talk will also cover bqplot's interaction with the new JupyterLab IDE and what we plan for the future.

Talk 2:

Title:

Inspired by Saguaro: Thinking in Dimensions for Data Projects

Description:

After a trip to Arizona, I started an exploration about Saguaro (a giant cactus) for fun. The more I found out about Saguaro, the more I realized that it is no different than any data visualization subject matter.

Exploration is key to the design process. This talk is sharing my experience with it, where to look to get started, how to reveal a subject, and present it in visual communication.
