Data visualization surrounds us. In the workplace, in popular media, and even in personal computing devices such as fitness trackers, we take advantage of visual aids to better understand data and the world they represent. This introductory workshop discusses the cognitive and perceptual processes that enable data visualizations to be effective analysis tools and provides practical hands-on guidance for visualization design.
Requirements:

This workshop is part of a series of workshops by SciProg. SciProg—short for Scientific Programming Study Group—is dedicated to building a community of SFU researchers who perform computational data analysis as part of their academic work. SciProg promotes skill sharing and collaboration by (1) organizing 60 to 90-minute interactive workshops covering a wide range of software tools, (2) providing Q&A sessions for peer-to-peer assistance and collaboration, and (3) bringing researchers together at social events like Hacky Hours.
