3 Advantage of learning D3JS

3 Advantage of learning D3JS

 

Learning D3 can take time, especially if you have no prior web development experience. Hence, D3 is probably not for people who want to just quickly expand their visualization skills. Now back to the top 3 reasons for learning D3

1. Lots of examples.

Here’s a secret about creating great data visualizations: take ideas from other examples you’ve liked! That’s often the most effective way to make you look like and become a master data visualizer.

And that’s the great news about D3: there are thousands – thousands! – of great D3 examples to work from.

See excellent curated lists of D3 examples here and here. Many of these examples are posted online because developers want others to re-use their code. Just be sure to give credit where credit is due 🙂

2. Vibrant open-source community.

When I have a question about D3 , I often Google the issue and then quickly find a great StackOverflow or blog post that addresses it. These extensive (free!) resources are available because of the very large and vibrant open-source community behind D3.

3. Knowing D3 = Hirable skills.

Data Science and analytics skills are top trends and when it comes to analytics over web D3JS is preferred because of its powerful libraries and responsive capabilites.

If you have seen D3JS then you would be wondering, is there something which can not be done by D3JS.

 

 

 

This we all will agree who have tried in some point or other to work with it, that the time to learn it compare to other JS library is little high.If you have used sap.viz library in your UI5 project before then you might know it as well that it also uses d3 internally.

Recently there were also attempt to integrate C3.js and Chart.js libraries with UI5. The GitHub project is called custom controls for charting.This also looks pretty amazing and it is responsive as well.

We will soon give this new JS library mashup a try and tell you the result !

Developer who can earn $336K in less than 10 min !

The recent video of an Android developer is going viral for creating a TSA app in under 10 minutes.According to him he would charge $10 for the amount of work which he put in the app.But the entire project costed $1.4M .The app only displays random arrows on clicking the screen that’s all.

According to report the actual cost of application if we remove the cost of training user and hardware is $336K which just points randomly to left and rightĀ .

After looking at the original video the arrows which are used in the app do have transition effect and nice shadow property.But that still does not signifies the cost !
