I just posted the video of my RIAdventure presentation about data visualization. http://dougmccune.com/blog/2010/01/10/my-data-visualization-presentation-from-riadventure-full-video-and-slides/ If you go to the end of that presentation I cover the topics (like stats, etc) that I have on my agenda for learning. I don't cover specific resources to use for learning those topics, but I do at least outline the main areas I see as important (and that I lack). Hopefully that gives you an idea of what I see as the requisite knowledge. Marc, great question! I just posted the video of my RIAdventure presentation about data visualization.

I'm planning to learn to use some of this tools too (Processing, Axiis, etc...) but maybe I feel I lack some scientific background also, like statistics. A part from these tools, what subjects do you think one has to have as strong foundations? And do you have any planned path to acquire them? Marc Hi Doug,

Besides the urgent need to base decisions upon something more than screen capture embedded in a Power Point slide, the data volumes we'll be wrestling with will be mind boggling. At the same time, the NY Times Digital Dept. has done fantastic work in exposing different types of interactive visualizations to the masses: and the masses "get" it. It's going to be a great ride.

I thought it took a lot of balls to show that slide at a Flex conference. Maybe THAT is why you were pelted with rubber balls soon after. ;) It was an interesting and inspiring presentation.
