For what we are creating in these posts d3 is way overkill and very verbose, but I need to start somewhere! These are just stepping stones into real custom visualizations that cannot be done in any other tool today. I still cannot explain how excited I am to say “I created that in d3!!!”

Today I will be learning about d3 scales, and adding them to the bar chart that we created yesterday. Follow along as I try to create something interesting.

D3 Day 3
I recently subscribed to Ben Clinkinbeard’s learn D3.js in 5 days, and am currently on day 3. I read through the first 2 days, and felt fairly comfortable with selecting elements, so I did not follow along on the first two days. I probably should have, but there are only so many hours in the day.
D3 is the ubiquitous dynamic visualization library for building custom interactive visualizations on the web. It is a bit low level, and more verbose than many other libraries that build upon it, but if you want full control D3 is the way to go. I have used a few libraries built upon d3 in the past and have been very happy with the results. For now I want to start learning a bit about how d3 works. I know that learning it is going to take a long time, so I want to start working on some simple examples now in order to build my understanding so that I can learn quickly when I am ready to dive in. If I never decide I need to take the deep dive into d3, I think understanding how it works will...

FlexBox
I recently finished up the flexbox-zombies course to learn more about flexbox, and to become proficient with it. I can truly say that this course has changed the way that I create layouts. Flexbox is very intuitive now. What this course does really well at is explaining the concepts and hitting you with a ton of examples that you can work through really quickly.

Flexbox requires a wrapper container to work I will refer to this as the flex container, and the items in that container as items.

Vim Notes
I have gone quite awhile without using c and instead using d. The reason that I started using c is because it automatically places you into insert mode. This not only saves me one keystroke for commands such as diwi is now ciw, but it also works with the repeat . command!!! This is huge. When refactoring a document I had been creating a macro to change one word to another, using...
