Throughout this guided project we are going to create a simple Parallel Coordinates Plot (PCP) using d3 js. PCP is one of the most common data visualization techniques used to visualize high-dimensional datasets. In this guided project you will create a simple PCP step by step. We will also cover some important topics in data visualization such as Linear and Ordinal scaling to best visualize our data. Having the knowledge of javascript programming language and the basics of d3 js are the two most important prerequisites to get the most out of this guided project.
