Introduction to D3.js with React (Udemy.com)

A lot of knowledge! Even if it's a older react version, d3 topic was very clear. I appreciate that you explain Update Pattern because that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks and a great material. You could consider to update the repo with a new react version for people that learn to develop in >= React 17. Or another course would be an optional idea because it's a great material. I really enjoyed it!!!!

I took off 1.5 stars not for the content, but for the production quality. The audio was heavily spliced together. I understand that things change, and sections might need to be rerecorded. However, this course sounded like some audio was recorded with a decently quality mic, but other sections were recorded in a bathroom on iPhone headphones. This made it hard to find a volume to watch at, and sections were jarring when the audio increased or decreased in volume. The content was fine as expected, but I wish a little more care was taken to make sure spliced sections gelled well with the original sections.

First off, It's a great course and I am learning a ton. The program is written in old react. I only have minimal practice with class-based react components and more experience with functional-based components. Because of this, the way of passing props, setting state, and using hooks is much different now so it makes you have to kinda slow down and do some extra research. Now if you understand the old way of react and lifestyle methods, then you will have no issues. So besides being a bit outdated its really great at getting you started with d3 and react, and helped me build some custom scatterplots I used for a project.

Pros: -Well explanation, step by step, constructively. -Very easy to understand the concept. -The code is pretty clean, and it works well with React. Cons: -The code display is too small in section 5. -The voice is not normallised. It's a bit annoying, especially in section 5. -The course is pretty short. You need to buy his previous course to learn more about D3. In this course, there are only Bar chart and Scatter plot Anyway, I can say this course meets my expectation.

Decent introduction. Some improvements that could be made for an eventual course update : - Ditch the explainations of basic React notions. This is an intermediate course for React developpers. We already know all this stuff. Cut to the chase. - Use the zoom feature whilst capturing. It's hard to see the code. Also, it isn't necessary to see the result update in real-time CodeSandbox-style. You would gain some screen real-estate by switching between the two. - Some microphone volume level fluctuation issues.

Good course overall. other comments were accurate: audio changes quality often (but is no issue with earphones on); code on-screen is TINY (even at full screen it was quite small), that said, a git repository is available which helps alleviate this problem a bit; the react implementations are based on soon to be deprecated lifestyle methods and the updating the ChartWrapper to more modern React Hooks took me additional support. Otherwise, great foundation for both d3 and integrating React with d3.

This has been a really good course that demonstrates how to combine D3 with React. I think it shows a good pattern of using those two libraries and it also teaches in detail how to update a D3 visualization with smooth transitions I personally think that an example project of D3 force layout would make this course more complete and I would appreciate if you can update the course with this idea in the future Thank you Adam

Adam is a good teacher, and overall this is a pretty good course for learning the basics. Perhaps another section could be added explaining how to use functional components instead of class-based ones... or at the very least another video could be added showing how to avoid using 'componentWillMount' and 'componentWillReceiveProps' since these lifecycle methods are no longer the recommended way of doing things. Other than that I have no complaints.

It was a good intro course to D3 that also helped refresh my memory for React. The instructor was thorough and took the time to explain the concepts. I'll be going on to take Adam's other course on mastering D3. One suggestion to the instructor to improve user experience - please try zooming into your text editor/IDE while recording if you decide to make more courses. I spent this entire course squinting to see what you were typing... I almost removed a star out of annoyance.

Disclaimer - I was not new to React or D3, having completed a course in each. After this course I have developed a much better understanding of both and feel ready for my own challenges (my measure of a successful course). Although not a starter course Adams explanations really suit me and I do not just feel that I am rushing to complete code that I will need to investigate later. The only one slight downside is that although there is always a lot of context shown on the screen (good), however sometimes (for a couple of videos particularly) this makes the screen incredibly hard to read (and this was on a retina display).
