It is geared toward folks in the early stages of their JavaScript learning journey. Even if you’ve never touched JavaScript before, you are encouraged to join! \n\n\nDo you already work with data in other languages or tools (e.g. R, Python or Excel) but want to dip your toes into JavaScript for data analysis and visualization? Do you want to use JavaScript for data visualization, but find your work delayed by switching back to another language for even the smallest data wrangling or aggregation step? Want to build some core knowledge about JavaScript arrays and how to work with them?
