getting started with svg and data visualizations
This example demonstrates how to manually construct SVG elements to create a simple bar chart from a list of web development topics. It uses raw SVG primitives, including `<text>` for labels and a `<path>` with `M` and `l` commands to draw horizontal bars, with hardcoded coordinates. The page also includes basic CSS resets to control box sizing. No external libraries are used; the visualization relies entirely on static SVG markup within an HTML document.
