Curran, you made this in the perfect time when I was looking for a tut on using Webgl which lead me to learning about 3js which lead me to Mike Bostock's site that I couldn't get anything to work from or from Github. You, my friend are my friend for life! You were a Godsend! You are a great teacher too!!! You take the time to explain every line and what it does! That was what I needed. I'm an old Cobol programmer but can still pick up on other types of code and how it works, so I don't have CSS, Java or any of that but your video walks me through all of this and takes me to where I want to be! Thank you very very very much!!
You are an excellent instructor. I literally have 0 programming experience and only know some basic HTML, CSS and JS, yet I immediately grasped everything in this tutorial. Very well thought-out, good pacing. I was intimidated after reading some online materials about D3, but this video increased my motivation to learn more! Thanks!
I've watched and read many d3 tutorials, and I have to agree with Harish that this one is by far the best. Curran has an amazing ability to break down complex and difficult ideas into easily digestible pieces. Thank you.
Excellent sir (Slow clap...)...I also began learning Angular through your tutorial and now I've learnt D3 through you too. Much appreciated for your generosity to share your knowledge.
I have 0 experience with d3 before and I find this tutorial extremely helpful, especially the chaining behaviors are very well-explained. If you start with d3 v4.X, there are two tweaks you need to make from the video scripts to make you code behave: (1) change d3.scale.linear() to d3.scaleLinear(); (2) The chaining behavior seems a little different in v4.X. If you follow the code and do something like below, the chain is somehow broke after the first line, so you will get all your circles lay on top of each other as if there were only one circle. circles.enter().append("circle").attr("r",5); circles .attr("cx", function(d){ return xScale(d.sepal_length); }) .attr("cy", function(d){ return yScale(d.petal_length); }); To properly assign "cx" and "cy" to let the circles scatter, all you need to change is to remove the";" and the standalone "circles" line, like below. circles.enter().append("circle").attr("r",5) .attr("cx", function(d){ return xScale(d.sepal_length); }) .attr("cy", function(d){ return yScale(d.petal_length); }); I'm absolutely new and I've wrestling for hours to find the above workaround. Please tell me if my understanding is wrong or there is better solution to this.
Thanks so much for this! Learned a lot. I'm an Android/Java dev who was just tasked to do JS and D3 work and I really have forgotten how to do web dev with all its quirks. The fact that you're so thorough in explaining everything really helped me heaps. Again, thanks!
I have a list of a hundred tutorials and courses about dataviz in d3. But this video is the first one that made me start to code without losing time searching for other stuffs that I need to know or download before learning. Thank you so much!
This is still gold today! :) I‘ve been using D3js for some visualisations and wanted to finally understand it (and not just copy examples). I‘ll certainly look through this again, playing with the examples. Thank you!
Great tutorial. Probably the best I have seen. Starting with practical examples and keep slowly building up on them, explaining the changes are very easy to follow and understand! Curran, you have a talent for teaching! Looking forward to more courses from you!
Thank you @Curran! This is exactly the crash course I needed for a project where I'm trying to jump in FAST at a much deeper level - this session has saved the day by bridging the gap between fundamentals and my goal! Cannot thank you enough!!!
P.S. I can't believe how much of this content is still so relevant - 6 yrs after your upload - some minor adjustments for D3 V4.x but still pretty much directly applicable
Thank you. This is perhaps the clearest tutorial I've ever seen. The the way you paced it stepping from basic concepts to more comprehensive examples really clicked with my brain. Now to run off and try to visualise all the things with D3.
d3 should have just embed this video into their tutorial as the first and MUST-CLICK source. this guy explains so clearly that i cant even understand how its so simple!!!
Well done Curran. This was a pleasure to watch! D3 is an amazing library, but I was having some trouble learning from the written tutorials. I'm glad I found your video. You explain the the enter/append/exit/remove concept very well. That's a good way to do it for beginners, and then the crazy enter/exit stuff can be left for more advanced users.

Really good talk, a great talk! I've watched many programming tutorials in my career, but this is one of the most interesting ones. Although I know basics of html css and javascript for years now, I really like to go down to the lowest reasonable level behind certain technology I learn. And this is exactly what the gentlemen does. Thanks for bringing your insight to the community!
Thanks !! You are an excellent teacher. And I love the audio clips ! I have never seen a presentation done like this , can't wait to see more tutorials from you.
I knew I recognized your voice, then it hit me. Youre the guy that did those awesome angular videos. Man Ive learned so much from you. You should get with khan academy and put stuff up there. Thank you AGAIN for another mind opening video.
Awesome. Thanks for the video + examples. I've already been using D3 in production but it's good to know more about how it all works (SVG and such). The only suggestion would be to turn down the random, loud audio clips that play between slides :)
Great tutorial! d3 V4 has some changes which will break your code if you're following along as I did (specifically the scale type references) but everything else seems alright. Thanks very much for this vid Curran!
This is very helpful, thank you! i have a question though: the min/max example at 1:02 doesn't work for me, I get an Array with two 'undefined' values for each row instead of a single array that includes the min and max of the whole column. What do I need to change to make it work in d3 v.5? Thanks :)
I'm using d3/4.2.7/ and some of this doesn't work. For example I can't get the render function to work (59:02 for example). It doesn't go through the update phase for entered rects and circles. If I call the function twice with the same arguments it works. It works with the version you are using, d3/3.5.5/. What do we need to change to get it to work with the newest version?
Adding .merge works, is that a good way to do it? // Enter data rects.enter().append("rect") .attr("y", 50) .attr("width", 20) .attr("height", 20) // Update .merge(rects) //
Great tutorial. I love this. It is very helpful. Quick question, wonder if anyone knows. At the 43:10 mark the Scale("B") function prints 33.333333333333336 for 1/3 of the way from 0-100? where did that 6 at the end come from? I tried it and got the same thing but 1/3 gives 0.3333333333333333. More testing show the following: console.log(1/3); // gives 0.3333333333333333 console.log(100/3); // gives 33.333333333333336 console.log(1/3 * 100); // gives 33.33333333333333 console.log(100 * 1/3); // gives 33.333333333333336 console.log(100 * (1/3)); // gives 33.33333333333333 I know it is because of the inexact nature of doing floating point division in a finite binary system but it is odd the last digit is a 6 and not a 4 or 2, not to mention 3. The last case is why I don't like to rely on the order of precedence, that, and parenthesis can make the code more readable.
d3.csv("data.csv", function (myArrayOfObjects){ myArrayOfObjects.forEach(function (d){ console.log(d.x + d.y); }); }); , error message display as : 'd3' is undefined. I did not understand the reason.
Great Video. Thank you, Curran. At 27:52 you mention using parseFloat and not knowing why. Depending on the datatype, you would want to call parseInt [1] or parseFloat [2]. Calling the incorrect function for datatype could lead to some unexpected results. [1] (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/parseInt) [2](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/parseFloat)
@ 51:00 the example for .enter() is huge. first tutorial ive seen cover it at all let alone give a good example. i think you could have covered the g element a little more
Firstly big thank you Curran for this video, very helpful! I am trying to apply a grid line to a bar chart, but without a sucess. Do you have a video where you explain how to do this? I am using slightly modified version of your horizontal bar chart from this vid. Thank you
Haha I needed to watch also your introduction into GitHub Pages to understand how to get your example viewer. :D But you can't edit the code and get immediately the output in that viewer, can't you?
Can you share to us your opinion of why you are specifically targeting D3.js as foundation for your modeljs framework? Is it possible to target other than d3.js in the future? Thanks for any insights Curran
+Eigenfield Aparicio Model.js is completely independent from D3.js. It arose out of my needs when developing visualizations with D3, but it can be used with other things as well. For example, here's a program that uses model-js with Leaflet and Crossfilter bl.ocks.org/curran/a479b91bba14d633487e
This looks like a cool library burt the documentation is terribly blurry a lot of trail&error to figure it out is there some tutorial that explains it??? I'm debating if it is worth it spending the time trying to figure this out or just write it myself in less time ..... I need to add a grid to a simple linear chart and none of the samples work properly or explained properly. I need to understand how it works not just cu&paste without having any idea what is happening
i followed every step. At 45'30" i am seeing in my browser console the following message: "mutating the [[Prototype]] of an object will cause your code to run very slowly; instead create the object with the correct initial [[Prototype]] value using Object.create" How do I make this message go away?
ty dis z vry helpful video .... cn u plz help me to plot realtime numeric data to line graph as new value arrives it automatically updates and plots new value to it
So for D3 version 4, d3.scale.ordinal().rangePoints() was replaced with d3.scalePoint(), but I can't find what the version 4 alternative is for rangeRoundPoints. I tried d3.scaleRoundPoint() to see if it was the obvious solution but that didn't work. Can anyone help?

Curran Kelleher has a very good knack for teaching. Explains everything so anyone on any level can follow. Very rare skill to have in an instructor.
oh thanks god
Saw that it was almost 100 minutes but i just couldn't stop watching/listening. Pretty cool! Watching this at work! :)
+Miķelis Baltruks Awesome!
This is SO much better than reading the intro to D3 article (which was super text heavy). Thank you so much. This is very clear.
Curran, you made this in the perfect time when I was looking for a tut on using Webgl which lead me to learning about 3js which lead me to Mike Bostock's site that I couldn't get anything to work from or from Github. You, my friend are my friend for life! You were a Godsend! You are a great teacher too!!! You take the time to explain every line and what it does! That was what I needed.

Thank you very very very much!!
Thanks for uploading this Curran. About 100x clearer than the other course I was watching.
You are an excellent instructor. I literally have 0 programming experience and only know some basic HTML, CSS and JS, yet I immediately grasped everything in this tutorial. Very well thought-out, good pacing.
I was intimidated after reading some online materials about D3, but this video increased my motivation to learn more!
Thanks!
I've watched and read many d3 tutorials, and I have to agree with Harish that this one is by far the best. Curran has an amazing ability to break down complex and difficult ideas into easily digestible pieces. Thank you.
Asif Mehedi Thank you!
Excellent sir (Slow clap...)...I also began learning Angular through your tutorial and now I've learnt D3 through you too. Much appreciated for your generosity to share your knowledge.

To properly assign "cx" and "cy" to let the circles scatter, all you need to change is to remove the";" and the standalone "circles" line, like below.
circles.enter().append("circle").attr("r",5)
.attr("cx", function(d){ return xScale(d.sepal_length); })
.attr("cy", function(d){ return yScale(d.petal_length); });
I'm absolutely new and I've wrestling for hours to find the above workaround. Please tell me if my understanding is wrong or there is better solution to this.
Whenever someone asks me to teach them d3, I don't even try to do it because this video is the best way to learn from
Thanks so much for this! Learned a lot. I'm an Android/Java dev who was just tasked to do JS and D3 work and I really have forgotten how to do web dev with all its quirks. The fact that you're so thorough in explaining everything really helped me heaps. Again, thanks!
This is very clear and useful. Covered the must-know of D3 for people who just started with D3. Well done!
I've been looking for a teacher like you for a long time... You are gifted thanks!
Seen and read so many D3 tutorials. 20 mins into the D3 section and you’ve already topped them all. Terrific job. 👍🏻
😅I 😮
I have a list of a hundred tutorials and courses about dataviz in d3.
But this video is the first one that made me start to code without losing time searching for other stuffs that I need to know or download before learning.
Thank you so much!
+Henrique Geremia Nievinski Great!
Excellent on each and every concept with a clear picture of code explanation. Thanks a lot Currran Kelleher it helps me for learning D3 JS.

thats the best ive seen so far for D3 ..thanks!
this tutorial is magic. I have an interview assignment on this stuff and this really put me on. Thanks @Curran
Thanks for posting this. Love how you made the examples increase progressively in complexity. Plus the links in them were really helpful. Good Job!

I have never seen a presentation done like this , can't wait to see more
tutorials from you.
***** Thank you!
This video is so good it's almost unbelievable.
Hats off to you Sir! I have watched your Angularjs tutorials and they are awesome. Looking forward learning D3js too. Thank you
MrHangool Thank you!
Curran always makes everything so easy.
I knew I recognized your voice, then it hit me. Youre the guy that did those awesome angular videos. Man Ive learned so much from you. You should get with khan academy and put stuff up there. Thank you AGAIN for another mind opening video.
dfdhherhehhzdhdhtrhdhdhdshehhfdh Thanks a lot! Glad to hear that.
what are these awesome angular videos you are speaking of? I'm also in process of learning angular and your way of teaching seems to be spot on :)
Excellent video!!!!!! This is most useful video I could find to start with D3JS.
Thanks Curran.
This is a really awesome tutorial. I needed something like this to really break it down. Thanks!
This tutorial saves my days and times on d3.js. Thank you so much.
that's a lot of info in such a short time, gonna take around a month or so to clearly understand this.
Amazing work!
Went back to the basics to clean up my d3.js approaches. This video does a great job in doing this.
This was absolutely awesome. Thank you so much for putting this together.
This is a great video. Gave me my turn into d3, finally. Thank you very much.
45:57 - 1:02:00 This was really good! thanks a lot for doing this
totally appreciate having such a good teacher thank you for posting this!
A brilliant piece of work, it's inspiring.
dude great presentation, really helping with minimizing the learning curve
+Arnold Chitwa Thanks!
Great explanation, even better than 'Let's make a bar chart' :D
The GeoNames chart is so pretty.
A treat to watch this! Thanks a lot.
Cant thank you enough !! Best way to learn D3 !! Thanks a ton !!
this was amazing, had to figure out many of this things by my own but this adds clarification to a lot of stuff and is really a good guide, thanks!
The tutorial is amazing. Very well made .Thank You from my heart for your efforts.
Really cover everything I need to begin d3
Thank you a lot..
Awesome. Thanks for the video + examples.
I've already been using D3 in production but it's good to know more about how it all works (SVG and such). The only suggestion would be to turn down the random, loud audio clips that play between slides :)
nacs Thanks for the feedback! I'm sorry they are so loud, I didn't realize. Something to address in the future.
Superb i liked a lot I basically got to learn the methods in D3.JS
good work
Hello Sir,
Your video is awesome!
I am really glad that you gave your priceless time.
Thank you so much.
Grate tutorial. Thank you for it. Love from Romania!
The 0-1 value of the RGB(A) stands for Alpha and is the level of opacity applied to the object. 0 being fully transparent and 1 being fully opaque.
Great work! Well taught. Your overview was extremely helpful. Thanks!!
Curran, I don't know how to thank you! Amazing tutorial. So many thanks! :-)
Brilliantly explained tutorial! Thanks so much.
Great tutorial! d3 V4 has some changes which will break your code if you're following along as I did (specifically the scale type references) but everything else seems alright. Thanks very much for this vid Curran!
Thank you very much and thank you for starting with the basics its really helped my understanding.
Thanks great talk- still relevant today.
Great video -- pace was perfect -- thanks!
Spectacular presentation! Thank you very much!
Thank you very much sir.Really helpful for begginers.
This is very helpful, thank you! i have a question though: the min/max example at 1:02 doesn't work for me, I get an Array with two 'undefined' values for each row instead of a single array that includes the min and max of the whole column. What do I need to change to make it work in d3 v.5? Thanks :)
+[stringVar] is leveraging JS's willingness to coerce a types. You can also see this effect in action with == versus === evaluations.
I'm using d3/4.2.7/ and some of this doesn't work. For example I can't get the render function to work (59:02 for example). It doesn't go through the update phase for entered rects and circles. If I call the function twice with the same arguments it works.
It works with the version you are using, d3/3.5.5/. What do we need to change to get it to work with the newest version?
Adding .merge works, is that a good way to do it?
// Enter data
rects.enter().append("rect")
.attr("y", 50)
.attr("width", 20)
.attr("height", 20)
// Update
.merge(rects) //
Yes, please take a look here github.com/d3/d3-selection#selection_merge This is the updated pattern.
Fantastic video. Really well conceived.
Great tutorial. I love this. It is very helpful.
Quick question, wonder if anyone knows. At the 43:10 mark the Scale("B") function prints 33.333333333333336 for 1/3 of the way from 0-100? where did that 6 at the end come from? I tried it and got the same thing but 1/3 gives 0.3333333333333333.
More testing show the following:
console.log(1/3); // gives 0.3333333333333333
console.log(100/3); // gives 33.333333333333336
console.log(1/3 * 100); // gives 33.33333333333333
console.log(100 * 1/3); // gives 33.333333333333336
console.log(100 * (1/3)); // gives 33.33333333333333
I know it is because of the inexact nature of doing floating point division in a finite binary system but it is odd the last digit is a 6 and not a 4 or 2, not to mention 3.
The last case is why I don't like to rely on the order of precedence, that, and parenthesis can make the code more readable.
Awesome intro to D3js, subbed and liked.
Thank you for this excellent tutorial.
Great tutorial , appreciate your time.
Very clear and enjoyable tutorial. Thanks so much!
Todd Knudsen Thank you!
While running following code in 35:49
D3 Example
d3.csv("data.csv", function (myArrayOfObjects){
myArrayOfObjects.forEach(function (d){
console.log(d.x + d.y);
});
});
,
error message display as : 'd3' is undefined.
I did not understand the reason.
I need that god damn playlist!
TY for a nice video, very informative :-)
Great video. Keep up the good work.
감사합니다. Thanks you very very much. It's helpful lecture for me.
Great Video. Thank you, Curran.
At 27:52 you mention using parseFloat and not knowing why.
Depending on the datatype, you would want to call parseInt [1] or parseFloat [2]. Calling the incorrect function for datatype could lead to some unexpected results.
[1] (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/parseInt)
[2](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/parseFloat)
@ 51:00 the example for .enter() is huge. first tutorial ive seen cover it at all let alone give a good example.
i think you could have covered the g element a little more
Nic Nash @ 57:51 is a very useful pattern to go by
This is really well done, thankyou!
awesome intro to d3!
Firstly big thank you Curran for this video, very helpful!
I am trying to apply a grid line to a bar chart, but without a sucess. Do you have a video where you explain how to do this?
I am using slightly modified version of your horizontal bar chart from this vid. Thank you
No video but here's a good example bl.ocks.org/syntagmatic/ba23d525f8986cb0ebf30a5dd30c9dd2 Just add xAxis.tickSize(-height)
Wow, that was quick :)
Thank you, very appreciated!
scaleLinear instead of 'scale.Linear' worked for me at 38:51
. Not sure why there's a difference.
scaleLinear is the correct method name for v.4 - the video looks to be using v.3
scale.linear is version 3, scaleLinear() is version 4
great intro to the topic
Hey Curran, great work! What did you do to get this nice layout for your presentation with index.html, output, notes and you in the right corner?
Haha I needed to watch also your introduction into GitHub Pages to understand how to get your example viewer. :D But you can't edit the code and get immediately the output in that viewer, can't you?
Great presentation!
Can you share to us your opinion of why you are specifically targeting D3.js as foundation for your modeljs framework? Is it possible to target other than d3.js in the future? Thanks for any insights Curran
+Eigenfield Aparicio Model.js is completely independent from D3.js. It arose out of my needs when developing visualizations with D3, but it can be used with other things as well. For example, here's a program that uses model-js with Leaflet and Crossfilter bl.ocks.org/curran/a479b91bba14d633487e
This looks like a cool library burt the documentation is terribly blurry a lot of trail&error to figure it out is there some tutorial that explains it??? I'm debating if it is worth it spending the time trying to figure this out or just write it myself in less time ..... I need to add a grid to a simple linear chart and none of the samples work properly or explained properly. I need to understand how it works not just cu&paste without having any idea what is happening
i followed every step. At 45'30" i am seeing in my browser console the following message:
"mutating the [[Prototype]] of an object will cause your code to run very slowly; instead create the object with the correct initial [[Prototype]] value using Object.create"
How do I make this message go away?
Pretty cool. Thanks for the vid
Love this video.
Thanks, this was very helpful!
will you show us how to use codemirror? after seeing this presentation i am very envious. thank you.
+BaconKwagga Great idea for a future video!
ty dis z vry helpful video ....
cn u plz help me to plot realtime numeric data to line graph
as new value arrives it automatically updates and plots new value to it
Really insightful
So for D3 version 4, d3.scale.ordinal().rangePoints() was replaced with d3.scalePoint(), but I can't find what the version 4 alternative is for rangeRoundPoints. I tried d3.scaleRoundPoint() to see if it was the obvious solution but that didn't work. Can anyone help?
I think I found it, the solution is to use .rangeRound([]) when setting the range.
It’s really really helpful!
