Finished up the first three volumes from Edward Tufte on data information and visualization. While I read a bit a few years ago, and follow data viz on Twitter and the web, it was good to sit down and go through them. I will pick up “Beautiful Evidence” at some point for sure.
I very much appreciate the history of data viz Tufte goes though, as well as the amazing examples from the pragmatic side of data viz. (There are many examples of amazing not-so-pragmatic data viz out there.)
