Data Skills Workshops recap: javascript viz and open city data

Thanks to everyone who’s been joining our SUDS Data Skills Workshops this semester! So far, we’ve heard from Alex Sciuto on using Javascript and D3.js for data visualization, and Bob Gradeck from the Western PA Regional Data Center on finding and using city data. It’s been awesome to dive into the many tools and resources out there that we can use to tackle our data dreams (or nightmares…). And we’re so grateful to have these gurus share with us!
