Javascript style guidelines seem less definitive than PEP-8. Is this a good reference: http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javascriptguide.xml#JavaScript_Style_Rules?

Just in time for inclusion in some lucky students project, a way to do brushing interactions: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/1667367

Scott Murray’s tutorial goes through the basics at a gentle pace: http://alignedleft.com/tutorials/d3/axes/
