In terms of the structure:
In reality my d3 visuals will be more dashboard-orientated so should I get into the habit of seperating the css, js and html into seperate files? If I go down the route is it easy to implement?
In terms of javascript in general:
I realise javascript has some "bad bits" - am I using any of them in my code? and how do I refactor to avoid them?
In terms of the d3:
There might be lots of interaction in the full version e.g. the radio button might have many more options which get pressed many times, should I move the call to the csv d3.csv to another part of the script so that the data is not being read everytime another option is selected?
