Starting after started
Here’s where to go next once you’ve covered the basics of visualization. When it’s time to actually start making things.
It’s easy these days to get started with visualization. There are a lot of resources — books, tutorials, blogs, and classes — to help you learn, and the many new and old software applications let you work with data right away, point and click.
You don’t have to stop here though. A lot of people do stop at this point. They read the Tufte books (and by read, I mean casually flip through the pages and memorize the bold text), and stick them on a shelf or stack them on a desk like visualization diplomas. Maybe you’re one of these people. I was.
