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.

How do the 3.1 billion A, C, G and T letters of the human genome compare to those of a chimp or a mouse? What do the paths that millions of visitors take through a web site look like? With Visualizing Data, you learn how to answer complex questions like these with thoroughly interactive displays. We're not talking about cookie-cutter charts and graphs. This book teaches you how to design entire interfaces around large, complex data sets with the help of a powerful new design and prototyping tool called "Processing".

Used by many researchers and companies to convey specific data in a clear and understandable manner, the Processing beta is available free. With this tool and Visualizing Data as a guide, you'll learn basic visualization principles, how to choose the right kind of display for your purposes, and how to provide interactive features that will bring users to your site over and over. This book teaches you:

* The seven stages of visualizing data -- acquire, parse, filter, mine, represent, refine, and interact

* How all data problems begin with a question and end with a narrative construct that provides a clear answer without extraneous details

* Several example projects with the code to make them work

* Positive and negative points of each representation discussed. The focus is on customization so that each one best suits what you want to convey about your data set

The book does not provide ready-made "visualizations" that can be plugged into any data set. Instead, with chapters divided by types of data rather than types of display, you'll learn how each visualization conveys the unique properties of the data it represents -- why the data was collected, what's interesting about it, and what stories it can tell. Visualizing Data teaches you how to answer questions, not simply display information.

读后感

书名起的有诱导的嫌疑。英文书名则明确说明本书是数据可视化工具Processing的使用详解。本书专门讲解数据可视化工具processing的使用。有许多代码示例。感兴趣的可以先下载Processing看看，需要深入的话再买这本书细读。

我给五星不是因为这本书确实好，而是因为我自己很喜欢，很合我的胃口，外加增加它在我的已看书单里的权重，让别人点进我的豆瓣主页时更可能优先从“共同喜好”里看到。 总的来说干货不多，水多。讲的与设计相关的东西太少，一直在那儿讲获取数据和parse数据，然后大段大段贴代...

油炸叔的经典，哈哈，老师推荐，适合有一定procesing基础的同学

苦逼啊 一想到明天要7点起床带着这本书去上课就悲从心来

为什么你要用Java，为什么

for java users

佩服自己(●´∀｀●)
