Upping Data Visualization knowledge for interviews

Does anyone have recommended resources or reading for a non-data scientist that will be interviewed on how they would be able to use data viz in their front-end engineering work? Any technologies or libraries that are a must to be familiar with?

Some great resources to look into for data visualizations:

Tableau (the largest visualization tool used by businesses – also, sidenote, it just got bought by Salesforce for $15B!!!)
D3.js (great github repo below)
Making Data Visual by Danyel Fisher and Miriah Meyer (https://www.amazon.com/Making-Data-Visual-Practical-Visualization/dp/1491928468)
Visual Display of Quantitative Information (https://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_vdqi)

If you’re looking real world, at many analyst positions that need to create reports, Tableau is likely going to be a top choice for the speed and ease at which you can create super detailed and interactive data presentations.
