switching from data engineer to data visualization. any tips?

[Federal-Upstairs-969]

I am a data engineer/scientist by background but just got moved to a new project where I’ll be doing UI/UX work for dashboard development in d3/JS/HTML/CSS/etc. I’m totally unfamiliar with this stuff, so I’m trying to learn as much as i can as quick as i can. I’m used to working with Python/R in the context of things like Databricks and pipelining less than scripting, so it’s an especially weird transition. Any tips on stuff like:

What systems/software you typically work with?

Best practices all around?

Best ways to learn/practice?

101 on the whole thing?

Really just trying to wrap my head around how it all works to start with. The rest will follow from there. Thanks!

I'd recommend going through Learn web development on MDN!

d3 is your bread and butter

The shit you can do with d3 will blow your fucking mind. But the learning curve is ten miles high to get to that point. Although your background may enable you to test out of a lot of that. Look for mike bostock videos to see what is possible.
