Nicholas Felton spends much of his time thinking about data, charts and our daily routines. He is the author of several Personal Annual Reports that weave numerous measurements into a tapestry of graphs, maps and statistics that reflect the year’s activities. He is the co-founder of Daytum.com, and currently a member of the product design team at Facebook. His work has been profiled in publications including the Wall Street Journal, Wired and Good Magazine and has been recognized as one of the 50 most influential designers in America by Fast Company. 
One resolution for all of us: let’s all think critically about what we see online labelled as an “infographic” or a “data visualization.” Is it really adding value to the original data? Is it something that could’ve been better presented as a list or a simple sentence? Is it just pretty or is it meaningful? 
D3 allows you to bind arbitrary data to a Document Object Model (DOM), and then apply data-driven transformations to the document. As a trivial example, you can use D3 to generate a basic HTML table from an array of numbers. Or, use the same data to create an interactive SVG bar chart with smooth transitions and interaction. 
A girl in love with storytelling, data visualization and programming.

Given it’s a growing field this isn’t hugely surprising, the old hands having their experienced feathers ruffled by faster, cheaper, easier, shallower, stylised mass production for mass consumption. I could have re-posted several treatises on this recently, but if you’re interested you’ll have found and read them anyway. Mike Dewar (Data Scientist, bit.ly), presents a talk on getting started with data driven design in Javascript to the New York Open Statistical Programming Meetup on Jan. 12, 2012.
