This month's NYC D3 meetup features two back to back tutorial talks. The first one is geared for D3 beginners, and the second is for experienced D3 users. Both talks will be presented by our meetup's co-organizer, Amit Schechter.

Talk 1: Intro to D3

This talk is for web developers using D3 for the first time. We'll look at the package structure of D3 (v4), cover the central concept of D3 selections and discuss some of the peripherals like scales, axes, shapes, geo, layouts, behaviors, utilities, etc.

Talk 2: Next Level D3

This is an updated version of a talk given at this very meetup back in 2015. It's aimed at folks who already know and use D3 and aspire to be D3 poets. We'll cover ways to write concise, readable and bug-resistant D3 code. We'll dive into the General Update Pattern for dynamically updating D3 views. We'll also examine D3's approach to reusable code and check out the merits of using D3 for UI building and DOM creation. Time permitting, we'll also briefly cover using D3 with React.

Bio: Amit is cofounder of NYC-based visualization studio TWO-N, where they design and build interactive data narratives and other data exploration tools using d3 and other JavaScripts. He is also the co-organizer of this NYC D3 meetup.
