Part 3. Advanced techniques

The final four chapters are focused on moving beyond small-scale and one-off data visualization products toward creating interactive applications and the reusable code they require. Chapter 9 integrates React to tie together multiple charts using different layouts with brush-based filtering to produce a data dashboard. Chapter 10 focuses on the structure of components and layouts in D3 by walking you through the creation of a simple grid layout and legend component. Chapter 11 tackles the problem of representing thousands of datapoints graphically onscreen while maintaining performance and interactivity. Overall, part 3 gives you the skills necessary to build your own framework or application on top of D3, with high performance in a big data environment.
