Gain hands-on experience in creating effective visualizationsAbout This VideoLearn the best chart types based on your data sourceBuilding effective maps with geo-based dataCreating engaging network graphsIn DetailThis course will focus on building a variety of data visualizations using multiple tools and techniques. This is where we will put the theory together with actual hands-on experience of creating effective visualizations. Our efforts will be spent on choosing the best display types for our dataset, and then applying best practice principles to our selected charts, maps, or network graphs. We'll spend considerable time on some of the most useful chart types, followed by a section where we explore the multiple uses of maps as visualizations. Our final section focuses on understanding network graphs, a powerful tool for displaying relationship data. Show and hide more
