Part 2 Meeting the new standards
A lot has changed since D3 was first introduced in 2011! Today, more than half of digital content is consumed on phones. We also expect digital content to be interactive and even animated. As developers, our stack of tools has evolved, and most projects are now built with a JavaScript framework, like React or Svelte. We also finally came to the realization that not everyone accesses web content the same way, and we’re (painfully) slowly adapting our development habits.
This section focuses on the new standards we’re expected to meet when creating digital data visualizations. In chapter 7, we’ll explore how to produce interactions and animations with D3. In chapter 8, we’ll discuss three strategies to combine D3 with a framework. In chapter 9, we’ll revisit data visualizations we built previously and make them responsive. In chapter 10, we’ll conclude by improving the accessibility of a digital visualization.
