This is repository designed as a sandbox to play with javascript, primarily to get up and running with d3 and other visualization libs
A demo d3 visualization I made in this repo can be viewed at: https://tychonautvii.github.io/learn_d3/
I started with an intro to some basic front end tech in a d3 context: http://www.jeromecukier.net/blog/2012/09/04/getting-to-hello-world-with-d3/
This is introduces the concepts of d3 well, but is a little dated and d3 v3 focused: https://square.github.io/intro-to-d3/web-standards/
My Fav Javascript Overview: https://javascript.info/
I also ended up selecting a javascript framework, mostly just to make it easier to interact with user input. I consulted the following resources, and ultimately chose angular: https://da-14.com/blog/5-best-javascript-frameworks-2017 http://www.adeveloperdiary.com/react-js/integrate-react-and-d3/
I used codeschool to learn enough angular for my requirements: http://campus.codeschool.com/courses/shaping-up-with-angularjs/level/3/section/1/video/1

- Add Algorithum Checkboxes

I use ECMAScript 6 to have scope, and avoid declaration hoisting
