Dirty D3.js Part 1: D3 is not what you think

💌 Sign up for https://funfun.email to learn more about our D3 and data visualization plans!
💛 Dirty D3 won't be the most pedagogical series, or the most succinct, the cleanest, and certainly not the shortest, the most elegant or terse.

But what Dirty D3 will be is the weirdest, most vulnerable, most energetic, and—most importantly—the most sequential take on learning D3.js. Course-ish.

There’s no "one" right sequence to learn all the bajillion hojillion components of D3, but let’s face it, too much choice is just plain awful. So Dirty D3 will impose some order on the chaos. This is the way we’ll learn it—step by messy step. And since we’ve chosen this path, it’s officially the right way.

Through 2025 you’ll learn a little (or a lot) more about data visualization, D3.js, time scales, charts, and all the magic that makes those projects come to life. By the end of 2027, we’ll either be world-renowned data visualization experts or known for having created the weirdest, most absurd course on the matter. We welcome all developers, young and old, new and experienced, fluent or just dappling in JavaScript and other languages. 💛
