Effective Data Visualization: The Ideas Of Edward Tufte - Thursday, November 17th, 2011 at 18h00
Thursday, November 17, 2011
Detroit Area Fox User Group (DAFUG) presents:
1) "Effective Data Visualization: The Ideas Of Edward Tufte", by David Giard.
We spend much of our time collecting and analyzing data. That data is only useful if it can be displayed in a meaningful, understandable way. Yale professor Edward Tufte presented many ideas on how to effectively present data to an audience or end user.
In this session, David will explain some of Tufte’s most important guidelines about data visualization and how you can apply those guidelines to your own data. You will learn what to include, what to remove, and what to avoid in your charts, graphs, maps and other images that represent data.
2) Anything else people want to talk about.
We are always looking for volunteers and topics.
