My first D3 graph
16 December 2012
I’m trying to learn D3, a javascript library for creating (interactive) web graphics. As an excercise, I redid this graph, which uses Eurostat data on the percentage of the population who have ever written a computer programme.
I can’t say it’s a very good graph: some of the most intriguing aspects of the data have to do with changes over time (decline in some countries, rather large growth in Finland, implausible fluctuations in the Netherlands), which don’t show very well in my graph. Nevertheless, it feels good to have coded my first interactive D3 graph.
P.s. the graph may not be visible in older versions of internet explorer.
