Special thanks to our sponsors Pivotal Labs for help with the November 2014 meetup!
Two amazing D3.js Talks:
Talk 1:
Title: Visualizing Un-Aggregated Data
Description: Summary statistics by themselves are often unengaging and leave out many important aspects of a dataset. George will share some of his d3 visualizations that attempt to solve for this by showing each individual, concrete data point.
Bio: George Murphy is a product manager at Nomi, helping to build tools for retailers to better understand customer behavior. Prior, George led user research projects at Envirosell, a retail consulting firm.
Talk 2:
Title: D3.js For Beginners - The 3 Basic Building Blocks To Master
Description: This talk is for pure & early beginners to the D3.js library. We will cover the 3 basic building blocks you will have to master to begin building your own amazing D3 visualizations. The building blocks are: Non-D3 Building Blocks, D3 Non-Data Building Blocks, and D3 Data-Driven Building Blocks.
Bio: Sebastian Gutierrez specializes in creating Actionable Data Visualizations from complex and rich data sets. His hobbies are running this meetup group, running a website dedicated to the education of D3.js, and eating Chinese food. He tweets at @DashingD3js.
