This course will teach you how to make more effective visualizations of data. Not only will you gain deeper insight into the data, but you will also learn how to better communicate that insight to others. You will learn new ways to display data, applying some fundamental principles of design and human cognition to choose the most effective way to display different kinds of data. This course not only teaches you how to use popular applications like Tableau to connect to data warehouses to extract and visualize relevant data, but also teaches you how Tableau works so you can use the same techniques to make effective data visualizations on your own with any visualization system.

Excellent introduction to data visualization. The lectures are interesting and high quality. I used D3.js to try different approaches, which was a bit time consuming but interesting.
