Reading pointers below I borrowed from my Google+ microblogs “Data Visualization” (https://plus.google.com/111053008130113715119/posts , 7000+ followers) and “Data Visualization with Tableau” (https://plus.google.com/112388869729541404591/posts , almost 1000 followers). Sometimes the reading is more important then doing or writing. The reading on the beach (like below) can be even more…
