Data visualization is the art and science of putting quantitative numbers into pictorial or graphical format that are easy for users to understand, use, and take action upon the data. In this course, we will learn basic data visualization design principles, theories, data management skills, and fundamental web technologies to design and develop web based interactive date visualizations. The students will be able to design the proper visual representations of the data based on the data's characteristics, business needs, and prospective users.
