Data visualization is an effective method of communication that's been growing in popularity in the past few years. We have been exposed to beautiful infographics, interactive news articles, and stories based around raw numbers and statistics. In this talk, I'll describe the technologies and techniques I use to create visualizations and the things I've learned during my quest to be part of this field. We'll talk about programming, design, statistics, and journalism and how they intersect in data visualization. After the talk, we'll take a look at data sourced from the meetup* and create visualizations of our own.
