Data Viz Talk Files
Here are the files from my BFPUG and Harvard Flash User Group talks. I can’t upload the applications I showed of Visual i|o work, but here’s everything else.
Presention File:
A lot of the middle slides I didn’t even show, but, used as notes while I was demoing the apps.
Download - 10MB rar file. Extracts to Open Office doc.
Here is a PowerPoint version compressed as a zip.
Sample Code:
AS2 Bar Chart - code set up for Eclipse using FDT - to run from Flash IDE - import Main.as and run Main.main(); It also uses SOS for tracing.
Flex Chart Bar Chart example (by Peter deHann) - a great example of how easy it is to chart in Flex. I was going to port the above AS2 example to AS3 - but I’m busy and Flex charting is excellent.
Links to sites I mentioned in the talk:
Intro:
Patraeus Charts - Iraq by the Numbers
National Geographic Ethanol Story
Visual i|o data Viz Wak Throughs
Can’t post what I showed - but here are some examples of our work:
Trends/Mashups:
Chart to Art:
Alex Dragulescu - Spam Architecture
Martin Wattenberg - Shape of Song
Speaking at Harvard Flash Group
Look Ma - I’m speaking at Harvard! I’ll be giving the Data Visualization talk that I just gave at BFPUG to the Harvard University Flash Users Group next Thursday (October 18th). It’s from 12:15 - 1:45 in the Lamont Library. I’m pretty sure you need a Harvard ID to get in, but, if you want to go, send me an email. I’m sure we can figure something out.
