I'm trying to create an interactive graph for my curriculum as part of my studies and I'm looking for some guidance. I want this graph to display courses, their codes, and credit loads, and I'd like users to be able to enter their grades for each course to automatically calculate a weighted average based on the credits. I already know I can do this in Excel, but since I'm a graphic designer, I want it to look visually appealing. I'm interested in D3.js, which I heard about from an AI assistant, but I'm unsure if it supports user data modifications. Would D3.js work for what I need, or do I need anything else? Also, I want the graph to unlock courses as they become available, based on a prerequisite system. I have no programming background at all, so any tips for a project like this would be super helpful! Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, and thanks for any advice!

D3.js is a great choice for creating custom graphs, but you will need to grasp some basic JavaScript concepts, like handling user inputs and triggering functions. I recommend spending some time on Mozilla’s documentation; it’s a fantastic resource for beginners. You'll learn to see your designs come to life in real-time, which is really exciting!
Thanks! I’ve started exploring Mozilla and it’s really helpful. It’s so cool to see my designs take shape right there!
