Synopsis
Enormous quantities of data go unused or underused today, simply because people can't visualize the quantities and relationships in it. 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.
