#ITP Unconference 2015

This workshop is divided into two sections: Data Janitorialization, and Data Visualization. Both sections will use JavaScript for development.

Tools used:
Creating the framework for the app: Initializr.
Adding Libraries: CDNJS.com
Creating visualizations: D3.js

What is D3 and what can it do?

It is a visualization "kernal", not a "library". D3 was designed to be more rudimentary than a library, and more like a tool set, so people can use it to create things the creators of the library never imagined.

• Simple graphs.
• Incredibly complicated things, like Visualizing Algorithms.

##Day 1 - Data Janitorialization:

1. Sign up for an account at enigma.io.
2. Download the code in Unconference > Day 1 folder.
3. Learn about the drudgery of cleaning and preparing data...
