Fundamentals of HTML, SVG, CSS and JavaScript for Data Visualisation
Fundamentals of HTML, SVG, CSS and JavaScript for Data Visualisation
About the Book
This book covers the fundamentals of HTML, SVG, CSS and JavaScript for visualising data.
If you're wanting to learn D3.js (or other JavaScript visualisation libraries) and need to get up to speed with HTML, SVG, CSS and JavaScript, this book is ideal. It goes through the basics of these languages, and gives a good foundation for learning libraries such as D3.js.
It's also useful if you're coming from a language such as Python or R and use tools such as Dash and Shiny. If you're wanting to customise your web applications and CSS and JavaScript are a stumbling block then this book should help.
This book doesn’t assume prior knowledge of HTML, SVG, CSS and JavaScript but it’ll be helpful if you’ve some coding experience. Being familiar with a text editor (or IDE) will also be helpful.
It’s by no means a comprehensive tutorial on HTML, SVG, CSS and JavaScript. You’d need a much bigger book for that. Think of this book as presenting the minimum of what you ought to know if you’re wanting to work with web based data visualisations.
This book is an ideal foundation for D3 Start to Finish.
