Hi, I’m Swizec Teller. Over the years I've helped over 10,000 engineers hone their craft. 

With React+D3v4 you'll learn the basics of building fast data visualization components in about an hour. Get started immediately without installing anything.

I based React+D3v4 on 20 years of experience with learning how to code on my own, reading blogs and articles, listening to professors, and working with mentors.

Don't know React? React+D3v4 starts at the very beginning.

Struggling with D3? Every function is explained.

I bought your course Because D3.js is highly flexible, and writing a bunch of method chaining sucks for D3

I'm a react veteran who has always wanted to learn D3. I know enough about it to know there will be some quirks integrating with react, so figured your book would save me and my team from having to figure those out on our own. 

I use React because it is the sane way of doing things. I use D3 because I have to. I want nice interactive charts. I want to stay sane.

In my old age, I love having practical examples to help me learn new things faster.

D3's docs alone are okay but marrying them with React (as a react newbie) is not as straightforward as someone handholding you through the process. And, since I don't have hours after work or on weekends to hack on things like I used to before I was married (or had kids), I need to optimize my learning.

I already owned your previous version and know it would be worth my money to buy the updated version.

Thanks for all of the hard work!

Become a data visualization engineer with React + D3v4

You finished the book! You're my new favorite person \o/

You've built a really big interactive data visualization, a few silly animations, learned the basics of Redux and MobX, looked into rendering your stuff on canvas, and considered React alternatives.

Right now you might be thinking *"How the hell does this all fit together to help me build interactive graphs and charts?"* You've learned the building blocks!

First, you learned the basics. How to make React and D3 like each other, how to approach rendering, what to do with state. Then you built a big project to see how it fits together.

Then you learned animation basics. How to approach updating components with fine grained control and how to do transitions. You learned that tricks from the gaming industry work here, too.

You're an expert React slinger now! I think that's awesome.

Even if you didn't build the projects, you still learned the theory. When the right problem presents itself, you'll think of this book and remember what to do. Or at least know where to look to find a solution.

At the very least, you know where to look to find a solution. This book is yours forever.

I hope you have enjoyed this book. Tweet [@Swizec](https://twitter.com/Swizec) and tell me what you're building. :smile:
