Should I Take This Course?

D3 is an incredibly powerful library to use, with a strong community of developers which is growing every day. The library famously doesn't play well together with React, as they both want total control over the DOM. Take this course if you want to learn the right way to get these two libraries together, and get up and running as quickly as possible. This course is not an introductory course to web development. Students are expected to have had experience coding in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and React before enrolling in this course.
