When I turned to d3, the learning curve felt so steep. But this course is a great catalyst for learning d3js.
I've always had trouble translating what is in my head onto the screen but I feel more confident creating my own things now
Hey! I'm Amelia, the author of this course.
I'm a front-end developer at The Pudding
Over the past ten years that I've been visualizing data, I've been perfecting my method and collecting helpful tricks. I'm here to jump-start your own journey!
In Fullstack D3 and Data Visualization, I distill my hard-earned knowledge into bite-sized lessons.
We'll start making charts right away, and learn new concepts and design theory as we go.
Charts are like an x-ray for your data

Charts communicate ideas with simplicity, clarity, and detail.
Once you're comfortable with D3 you can quickly:
- understand key metrics at a glance
- catch anomalies (before they turn into problems)
- give key insights to your customers
- and impress your boss and co-workers
Today, I will show you the exact methods I use to create beautiful, understandable data visualizations using D3.

Data Journalist
This is the first book (on coding) that I actually learned something from and I built my first visualization within 30 minutes.
That took away a lot of my hesitation. I think you did an amazing job!
Discover the magic of visualizing your data.
What You Will Build
In this course, we're going to build all of these charts. Click on one to see more

You might be asking:
“Is this just another "pretty coffee table book"? I don't need another book that's filled with beautiful but useless information.”
Nope! This is a practical course that teaches you both the tooling and when to use it.
The world of data visualization books is often split into two groups:
- Pretty "coffee table" books with gorgeous pictures of impractical charts that you'll never use OR
- exhaustive software library "explanations" that aren't much better than reading the API documentation
What you need is something that is both full of beautiful, clear (and practically useful) charts, but also walks through every step necessary for creating real D3 charts - from empty folder to the browser.
“But I'm a programmer not a designer - What if my charts turn out ugly?”
In this book we cover design principles, do's-and-don'ts of design, and when to use certain kinds of charts. The result is that your charts will look great even if you have no formal training in creating visual information design. But more importantly: you'll understand how to communicate ideas with visualizations.
“Isn't D3 complicated? I need to get a dashboard up quickly! I don't have time to learn every corner of some confusing library.”
Fullstack D3 is not a reprint of the API docs - it's a practical guide to everything you need to create charts as quickly as possible. Within the first 10 minutes you'll be creating your own custom D3 charts. After reading the first few chapters you'll feel comfortable creating your own visualizations.
“Can I use D3 with my existing React / Angular / web app?”
Absolutely. The course comes with lessons and sample code on how to integrate D3 easily — and efficiently — into your existing application.

I really like the way Amelia outlines the steps in Making a Scatterplot. The steps frame it nicely when presented as a checklist.
Also, seeing free formed shapes being created was eye opening and really drew my attention.
Great job
Questions you might have
Here are answers to some common questions
The book is a downloadable PDF, ePub, and Mobi along with example code zip that goes through the content.
The course - which includes a free copy of the book - is an online course with hours of video lessons from Amelia, walking through the lessons.
If you like to read, you may prefer the book. If you like to watch videos, and see how Amelia works, then you'll love the masterclass.
It depends on if you enroll in the course or buy the book only.
If you buy the course, you'll be given a login to newline where you watch the videos, download the code, read the manuscript, and add comments and ask questions.
If you buy the book, You'll be able to download the book and source code after checkout. You'll also receive an email from Gumroad giving you instructions on how to download it at any time.
In either case, you'll be given access to our community Discord channel where you can get help.
Yes, but you don't necessarily need to be an expert. We assume you know the basics of programming in JavaScript. We walk through every line of code on how to build the first few charts.
When joining the course, you'll be invited to our community Discord where you can chat with fellow students.
It depends. The masterclass and the book share material - so if you went through the entire book and already feel confident building custom D3 visualizations, then you may not need the masterclass.
However, if you only worked through a couple of chapters or you find you're a visual learner, you enjoy listening to a teacher, and you want to see, hands-on, how Amelia works -- then you will love the masterclass.
If you're unhappy with the course for any reason, just reach out to us and we'll give you a full refund. No risk involved.
