Browser-based visualization has been revolutionized by D3.js, the most flexible and powerful data visualization library available today. Angular 2 will power many of the most interesting and innovative websites and apps in years to come. This practical tutorial gives real-world solutions to how your data can be brought to life by harnessing the power of D3.js and using it in tandem with Angular 2.

The video starts by showing you how you can connect data effectively to SVG elements using D3.js and provides an introduction to making D3 data visualizations interactive. It then moves on to creating a complete data visualization app in Angular2 and integrating D3.js with Angular 2 to create reusable components and blocks for future use. You will learn about the testability of components and how to implement custom interactions, filters, and controllers; discover how to parse and map data in D3.js; and master drawing D3.js's built-in shapes and curves.

Towards the end of this video, you will learn to leverage a few advanced features and functionalities such as animations, transitions, and real-time interactions of D3.js in Angular 2.

This course will provide you with the knowledge base and skill set to visualize virtually any data set and allow your audience to interact with these visualizations to gain deeper insight.

Style and approach

This video uses a step-by-step tutorial approach and will explain all the steps involved in creating an Angular 2 app for data visualization with practical examples. The individual steps will eventually help you to create a fully functional application in the form of a "mapping app" complete with bar graphs, pie charts, and choropleth maps using D3.js and AngularJS frameworks.
