Good to know. I got the free 1st Chapter and am considering the entire book. D3.js is awesome. You buy the std or the deluxe version?
I've done small frontends in Angular 1, pure JS, jQuery, and fiddled around with newer Angular and Vue. While I found Vue pretty intuitive, I kind of got stuck jumping from the little tutorial components to a full page - how to organzie components, the code modules themselves, etc.
It seems React is eating the frontend world, so I've always kind of kept it on my to-to list.
To give you a bit of context, the _large_ majority of people buy the advanced package (which really surprised me). The advanced package really just tries to bring all of your new knowledge together, going over d3 + React and d3 + Angular. It also has detailed walkthroughs of 3 complex data vizes, which could be really helpful. But both versions give you a great foundation to build off of.
