Why do I care about D3?

This guide was written as an assignment for Oregon State's CS 290 course. I selected this topic because I am a business intelligence developer working with SAP's platforms including BOBJ (BusinessObjects). My team is fairly new within the company and we are quickly learning our limitations for graphical representations. I plan to leverage what I learned from researching and writing this in development of extensions for use with Design Studio. For those who are unfamiliar, Design Studio makes heavy use of CSS and JavaScript.
