Episode #175: Mike Bostock

Shan Carter

Hi everyone, We have graphic editors Mike Bostock and Shan Carter in this dense and long episode. It’s great to finally have someone from the New York Times! We talk about many practical and more philosophical aspects of publishing interactive visualizations on the web. We also spend quite some time discussing the past, present and future of D3.js. (On a side note: apologies for starting a bit abruptly and for the weird noises. Enrico was desperately and unsuccessfully trying to find a quiet and calm spot at the CHI conference.) Take Care, Enrico &amp; Mo. P.S. Many thanks to all of you guys who sent us Twitter questions for Mike and Shan. — Episode Chapters 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:12 Our guests today: New York Times graphics editors Mike Bostocks and Shan Carter 00:01:54 About the NYT graphics department 00:06:56 Map wrangling 00:08:47 QA, evaluation, fact checking,… 00:11:23 Twitter question: Post the data set along with the graphic? 00:15:51 Exploratory or explanatory? 00:19:56 User tracking, user feedback 00:25:53 Balance of familiarity vs. new visual vocabularies 00:29:52 Workflow, on the example of the 512 paths graphic 00:38:05 Hybrid workflows between automation and manual layout 00:45:12 d3 00:45:49 History and philosophy 00:56:19 Value of examples 00:57:31 Community adoption 00:59:25 Vega 01:04:53 More d3 books or tutorials for advanced users? 01:08:15 Developer community 01:09:45 Sustainability 01:11:51 Future development 01:15:10 Enrico is back! 01:16:13 Is d3 complete? 01:18:52 When does Mike sleep? 01:19:45 Wrapping it up Links to discussed NYT projects    512 Paths to the White House / Shan’s talk on the making of 512 paths Over the Decades, How States Have Shifted China Still Dominates, but Some Manufacturers Look Elsewhere Among the Oscar Contenders, a Host of Connections Ralf Straumann on hexagonal cartograms    Related episodes Xenographics with Maarten Lambrechtssvelte.js for web-based dataviz with Amelia Wattenberger
