Using a downloadable programming environment developed by the author, Visualizing Data demonstrates methods for representing data accurately on the Web and elsewhere, complete with user interaction, animation, and more.
　　How do the 3.1 billion A, C, G and T letters of the human genome compare to those of a chimp or a mouse? What do the paths that millions of visitors take through a web site look like? With Visualizing Data, you learn how to answer complex questions like these with thoroughly interactive displays. We're not talking about cookie-cutter charts and graphs. This book teaches you how to design entire interfaces around large, complex data sets with the help of a powerful new design and prototyping tool called "Processing".
　　Used by many researchers and companies to convey specific data in a clear and understandable manner, the Processing beta is available free. With this tool and Visualizing Data as a guide, you'll learn basic visualization principles, how to choose the right kind of display for your purposes, and how to provide interactive features that will bring users to your site over and over. This book teaches you:
　　* The seven stages of visualizing data -- acquire, parse, filter, mine, represent, refine, and interact
　　* How all data problems begin with a question and end with a narrative construct that provides a clear answer without extraneous details
　　* Several example projects with the code to make them work
　　* Positive and negative points of each representation discussed. The focus is on customization so that each one best suits what you want to convey about your data set
　　The book does not provide ready-made "visualizations" that can be plugged into any data set. Instead, with chapters divided by types of data rather than types of display, you'll learn how each visualization conveys the unique properties of the data it represents -- why the data was collected, what's interesting about it, and what stories it can tell. Visualizing Data teaches you how to answer questions, not simply display information.

ウォーグレイ(像孩子一样思考)

在这个到处都是信息的时代，我们无论主动被动都会时不时接收到若干的数据集合，如何理解这些数据往往依赖于接收者的知识技能背景，但是这个不是非常重要，因为好奇心总是会驱使着人们去尝试些有挑战性的工作。于是“数据可视化”正逐渐成了越来越多的人理解、交流获取到的数据集的一个必不可少的过程。正是基于以上原因，我开始看《Vi......
