Fullstack D3 (JS Party #113)

The State of JS 2019 survey left many in awe of the beautifully rendered line graph created by Amelia Wattenberger. So we’ve brought her on JS Party to discuss how she built it!

We’ll chat about all things D3, a JavaScript library for creating data visualizations, and even learn a bit about the CSS cascade.
