Our Verdict
Boasting 26k subscribers and 14 unique visualizations, this course effectively lays down foundational D3 practices. However, inconsistent audio quality, the use of outdated methods in latter modules, as well as a rushed pace, can sometimes mar learner experience. While the instructor provides solid examples to learn from, anticipate challenges with v6 integration and minor disruptions owing to occasional discrepancies in the course's overall timeline.\n\nWith room for improvement noted in keeping content updated and addressing technical nuances for a user-friendly environment, Mastering data visualization in D3.js still has the capacity to empower learners with its wide variety of well-explained graphics that follow current library standards.
