learning D3.js
There're the things (especially in programming) you strat many times...and never finish. Such is the D3 Javascript
library (created by Mike Bostock in 2011). It is a Mont Blanc. And you can try different ways to climb it. The best I found
so far is a book (yes, a real, paper book! (with some stuff to download))
Interactive Data Visualization for the Web
by Scott Murray. It is open on my desk all the time, some time taking the dust when I'm distracted (like,recently, by MA assements).
Most of the on-line tutorials and courses, while sometime interesting and handy, vanished in the time. Book is necessary (at least for me);
it is like an anchor and this one is very easy, progressive and even fun.
All Javascript (all programming?) and D3 are diificult to understand if not practice, regulary.
So, for keep my motivation, I will publish a link to a new created file... regulary.
So:
step 1: little vintage circles.
step 2: the banal bars.
step 3: the scatterplot
step 4: one more scatterplot
step 5: dog's life's and death's chart lines

learning P5.js
When going back to these files I worked on year (or so) ago, I realize that it is may be too early
to say that on-line learning never gives as much as one, in real time. At least, my expirience with this course via Kadenze ,
by Daniel Shiefmann (one of co-founders of Processing foundation), compared with my current ("in-live") studies
on MA of Digital Arts & Humanities makes me think rather the opposite...
Some canvases (largely inspired by Daniel's samples):
kinetic
some b/w basic animation

a kind of kaleidoscope, sligthly psychodelic
too much psychodelic
more and more green
