D3 - A Discovery in Visualization
D3, the humble and lackluster name for "Data Driven Documents", has dominated data visualizations in the past three years. Like most, I was totally oblivious of the technology until I began investigating visualizations for a SharePoint Environment.
To be honest, I was just looking at charting and graphing software. My sights had not yet expanded to encompass the technology of a Data Visualization Engine. In particular, I was looking at HighCharts when a colleague introduced me to some d3 examples. I was smitten with the variations in d3 that I began to discover.
