Although I have never met Nick in person, but I have seen his work, and have no doubt he is a super guru in using D3.js for data visualization. Glad that he is sharing his knowledge and experience in this wonderful book. Highly recommended.Also, if you are interested in doing interactive, multi-dimension data analytics and visualization, check out his dc.js repository on github.

Truly a perfect tutorial, if you want to:* learn D3 basics* see interesting examples that cover the spectrum of D3 featuresEverything is covered by really illustrative examples, descriptions are clear and the code is well annotated. This book will be perfect for you if you like the form of 'cookbooks'.Any cons? Some. Bad formatting on Kindle Fire HDX (problems with font size). I've also found few more examples for multi-series charts I'd like to see - they seem quite common, but they are not covered.Anyway - both D3 itself and this book are awesome. If you're up to learn about the best visualization library and you're keen on data science: you'll love them both.

I'm glad I came across Nick's book, it was definitely worth the buy and as another reviewer pointed out it's definitely the best book on D3.js at the moment! I would recommend it to D3 neophytes as the first chapters are dedicated to the basics, although I feel that a good base in javascript is definitely needed... All in all a great book on the subject and many thanks for the author!

This book is the best choice to learn d3.This book is truly well organized, from the development environment to the advanced techniques.Starting from the selection and data joining, which are the most important and fundamental parts of d3, you can learn d3 very smoothly with simple but essential examples.If I have to recommend only 1 book for learning d3, this book will be.

I have read quite a few books / tutorials on D3.js, and this is by far the best. It is concise, thorough, and doesn't waste time on stupid things that most readers already know. If you want to learn to code your own visualizations in D3 instead of simply reusing others' code, then get this book now -- it covers essential things that are not easily learnt elsewhere, and in a very systematic way, despite being called a "cookbook".

Data Visualization with D3.js Cookbook: Turn your digital data into dynamic graphics with this exciting, leading-edge cookbook. Packed with recipes and practical guidance it will quickly make you a proficient user of the D3 JavaScript library.
