Plot vs. D3: Shirley Wu & Mike Bostock
Details
Plot is being designed to make the process of data visualization faster and easier.
We will put Plot to the test by taking a new look at the datasets that Shirley visualized in Data Sketches by using Plot to explore them. Shirley and Mike will discuss the thought process that they use when exploring data sets and how Plot might add to Shirley's data visualization toolbox.
You've seen Shirley Wu's magnificent data visualizations, and hopefully you have a copy of her & Nadieh Bremer's book Data Sketches which gives you a deep behind the scenes look into her data visualization process.

You know what D3 is capable thanks to the hundreds of examples, thorough documentation and countless powerful data visualizations Mike Bostock has made, and now he's working on something new: Observable Plot, which was created to better support exploratory data analysis in reactive, JavaScript notebooks like Observable.
