COVID19 Graphs With Observable

Description

I’ve wanted to check out Observable for a while, but it looked pretty intimidating whenever I started. Enter COVID-19 and this straightforward tutorial and suddenly I had an interesting topic and some tools under my belt to actually do it. I used Vega-lite for visualisations, JS and d3.js for some data wrangling, and html and markdown syntax for titles and explanations. Data is pulled via the awesome COVID-19 API. The whole process was really fun and I was amazed by fast you can produce something without a lot of hassle. Check out the notebooks there for some serious inspiration 😍

Data manipulation, cleaning, and processing in JavaScript: Website with tutorials on data wrangling with JS (mostly d3.js). I found it while I was researching how to aggregate data by an object property.
