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

Frontend Engineer

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.

Software Engineer

Amit

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've built a great visualization. Congratz! It's time to put it online and share with the world.

To do that, we're going to use Github Pages because our app is a glorified static website. There's no backend, so all we need is something to serve our HTML, JavaScript, and CSV. Github Pages is perfect for that.

It's free, works well with `create-react-app`, and can withstand a lot of traffic. You don't want to worry about traffic when your app gets to the top of HackerNews or Reddit.

There are a few things we should take care of:

- setting up deployment
- adding a page title
- adding some copy
- Twitter and Facebook cards
- an SEO tweak for search engines
- use the full dataset

## Setting up deployment

You'll need a Github repository. If you're like me, writing all this code without version control or off-site backup made you nervous, so you already have one.

For everyone else, head over to Github, click the green `New Repository` button and give it a name. Then copy the commands it gives you and run them in your console.

It should be something like this:
