Collected resources related to data visualization
- Data Viz Project is a great resource for learning about different kinds of charts, including use cases and pretty examples
- For R users (or folk who want to learn a first language for data viz), I can't recommend the R package ggplot2 (and the many related packages in the ggplot ecosystem!) enough for building your own visualizations
- For Python users, the data viz landscape is more varied and hasn't converged on a single package. Check out this article by Stephanie Kirmer for a survey of Python data viz packages.
- If you use Excel, there are some neat tutorials on building charts here and here
- Check out #TidyTuesday, a community centered around creating data visualizations based on a new dataset each week
- The Fundamentals of Data Visualization by Claus Wilke (available free online); if you read only one book on how to do data visualization, this is the one I'd recommend
- The Visual Display of Quantitative Information and/or Visual Explanations by Edward Tufte
- FlowingData
- Kottke.org (link to infoviz-tagged posts)
- r/DataIsBeautiful
- The Pudding
- Our World in Data
