This will be very handy in a few months when I started my thesis. Thanks!

What's the thesis about ?

No idea. I'm a 4th year graphic design student who does front-end development, so I am thinking of creating some sort of visualization for my 4th year thesis.

My original plan was to create digital artwork via non-conventional methods (i.e. not Illustrator or a pen and paper). But as I understand the requirements & restrictions for 4th year thesis I realize perhaps data visualization will be far better.

It sure is. This framework is amazing but if you want to render static only data look into chart.js , it's fun too and also has a good collection too.

I've used ChartJS before when I created a futuristic admin panel.

I was thinking of using an API to load in data and using D3 to visualize that information :).

This is everything I wanted out of an intro to D3. It's been a huge blind spot for me. thanks!!
