Ask HN: How to get started in data visualization?

1 pointsby xel02almost 16 years ago
Seeing that a few posts recommend having data visualization experience I was wondering how someone could get started in the field assuming that they already have a data-mining/statistics background.<p>I personally know that a top recommendation would be reading the classic by Tufte "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information.<p>What else is there on bookshelves and on the web?
