Please join us on August 18 at 7pm for the following presentation, pizza and drinks! Keenan Holloway from Forum One will be presenting on D3 Data Visualization.
There's no escaping the fact that data visualization is hot right now. Everyone wants to tell their data's story visually, whether it be through a map, chart, or more detailed presentation. The difficulty is there are so many different tools that solve this, each one with their own benefits and limitations. We feel D3.js is the most awesome tool for handling this task -- which is the approach we've used for the sites like the Nation's Report Card, BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina, GlobalChange, and others.
We'll cover:
Getting data out of Drupal and into D3
What D3 is and why you should be using it
D3 visualization techniques:
Charts & Graphs
Maps
Specialized Data Visualizations
Location: The Conference Center at ICF International
9300 Lee Highway, Fairfax VA 22031
Parking: Visitor section of Garage
Metro: Vienna Metro station, Orange Line
Look forward to seeing you there!
