Nicholas Felton Will Teach You Data Viz In A $10 Online Class - Fast Company Design

Nicholas Felton, the information designer behind Facebook’s Timeline and the annual Feltron Report, has just uploaded a course on Skillshare that will introduce you to the art and techniques of data visualization. You'll have to enroll for $10/mo to watch it. Over the course of 16 short videos (none is longer than nine minutes, and most are just a few minutes), Felton teaches you how to render meteor strikes on a map. You’ll learn to deal with the data-shaping app Processing, juggle scalable vector graphics, parse a major data set, link that information to markers, and even pick up a few pointers about typography while you’re at it. http://www.fastcodesign.com/3041900/infographic-of-the-day/nicholas-felton-will-teach-you-data-viz-in-a-free-online-class
