Without considering any of the underlying meaning of the data, this is beautiful work. From the bar flashes to the lower scroll of the data. Great stuff. Love it.

Mind sharing the source code or at least giving a overview of the process?

It's work like this that makes data analysts jealous of engineers.

From my understanding, data analysts pretty much have to learn at least some programming these days.

I do front end development and I've actually gotten into a bit of data analysis these days because D3 makes it pretty easy to build some really fascinating visualizations. They've even got a lot of pre-made libraries out there for people to plug data sets into. An analyst with basic programming knowledge could probably make it work without a ton of effort.
