3 Days of Hand Coding Visualisations - Introduction

I have been doing a simple beginner’s course on hand coding visualisations at work.

A wide range of tools are available for visualising data, from the ubiquitous Excel to the very user friendly (but not cheap) Tableau.

But I thought it would still be useful to do a short course on how to hand code visualisations, and the range of ways in which to do that. There are a number of advantages in choosing the hand coding route.

The original course is about 1.5 days long.

I shall split it into 3 parts, that even someone with very little coding knowledge could cover in 3 days.

At the end, you would hopefully have gained a good knowledge on the range of tools available for hand coding visualisations, and be able to create the visualisation shown below, which can be accessed at this link.
