Also, if you're in SF and are interested in learning more about d3.js, one of the primary libraries that we used to build EV, we'll be teaching a 1 day workshop May 2nd geared towards people comfortable with data but haven't gotten deep into web programming. We'll also be using "explorable explanation" style techniques along the way.
Have a look at our preliminary workshop demos for an example: https://vicapow.github.io/d3-1-day-workshop/
I promise the demos will get more advanced and start incorporating data before the workshop :)
You can apply to the workshop here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1VgBUu7znZVllkVw2d6TISzsTjGD...
The application process is to ensure everyone's at about the same level. If you're accepted, the ticket is $99 and includes food and refreshments.
