Best examples of data visualisation? - visualization

I love data visualisation and to spread that love I thought we could share our favourite examples of data visualisation:
Chess moves http://turbulence.org/spotlight/thinking/chess.html
Chris Harrison's Visualisations http://www.chrisharrison.net/projects/visualization.html
I especially like the bible and Wikipedia visualisations.
If you're interested in creating your own visualisations a good place to start would be to check out processing.js (http://ejohn.org/blog/processingjs/).

Information Aesthetics's feed is on my home page and has been the source of many interesting visualizations since I've placed it there.

glTail.rb - real time log info, Linux only.

This is a recent favorite The Ebb and Flow of Movies: Box Office Receipts 1986 — 2008.
Blew my mind is college Napoleon's Invasion of Russia, 1812.
And always check out Tufte.

I always found Gource to be pretty interesting; check out some of the samples. Histories of git projects.

I find codeswarm really amazing. Check out the video of eclipse.

I just came across the JavaScript lib called Raphael, haven't tried it but the demos impressed me:

I'm surprised no one has suggested d3 yet. Check out the website, its awesome: http://mbostock.github.com/d3/

For a large collection of manually selected information visualizations, please see http://www.infovis.info -- some of the online collections that I drew from no longer exist!

I show or link some examples in my blog post here: http://mycarta.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/time-to-spice-up-your-visualization-skills/
There is also a terrific selection of examples on this thread in Quora:
http://www.quora.com/Data-Visualization/What-are-the-best-data-visualizations-ever-created

A friend of mine did this and got it exposed at MOMA in NY
http://pmcruz.com/information-visualization/traffic-in-lisbon-condensed-in-one-day
It represents the trafic in lisbon over time, it was done with processing and there is no map behind it, just the coordinates of cars with public gps moving around

Unable to use gist in medium

I have searched a lot and tried several approaches. I believe I am doing something wrong as I am unable to have code from gist in the medium plataform bloggers.
I have only get the links on there but the code does not show or is not integrate. I have tried all the modalities of gist share code possible and paste using the embedded option in medium.
For example,
https://gist.github.com/GMoneyAccount/84fb1a9836aa91054e1714ac9d176630
https://gist.github.com/GMoneyAccount/84fb1a9836aa91054e1714ac9d176630.js">
https://gist.github.com/84fb1a9836aa91054e1714ac9d176630.git
https://gist.github.com/84fb1a9836aa91054e1714ac9d176630
https://gist.github.com/SumeraMartin/6369e704caffa8bacdaa859a1bec8b7d
https://gist.github.com/SumeraMartin/6369e704caffa8bacdaa859a1bec8b7d
This code does not show in the medium.
What I am missing? I have looked how people do but does not work for me for some reason and also I have changed from google to firefox and nothing changed.
The vendor that they use for processing embeds is currently down. You can watch the status of the incident here: http://status.embed.ly/
So, basically, the way you are doing it isn't a problem. You'll just have to wait until the incident resolves.
Cheers.

AEM classic UI how to and good readings

I am working on AEM 6.2 and I am interested is there any good blogs, tutorials or anything else you can recommend to read about it.
In more detail, I was looking something more detailed about using listeners in the dialog files, and cant find anything that would be a good read about it.
Thanks
1) ClassicUI
If you looking specifically for the Classic UI, you'll need to focus on tutorials around CQ tutorials to give you the 101.
2) General Reading
Here are some links, that could get you started:

I find this super useful and well structured.
Best of luck.. and enjoy the journey.

do not know how to install historymod

I find a lot of information dispersed over the Internet. There is nothing concrete. If I can guide point to point, to know what I have to install on the machine, and so to create the historical data for the statistics.
I need to make the "linear graph" widget work properly.
Greetings and thanks!
Please, take a look into the README document available on the github repository. Take into account that this file has been updated recently.
The historymod module is part of an specific application (FIWARE LiveDemo app) and not recommended as general solution. Have a look to the following post about how to persist hitorical context information comming from Orion.

jqTouch & Documentation

I'm playing around with jqTouch - a very impressive project - however, I was wondering if there was some systematic documentation I could get my hands on?
The website gives some demos, but I'm finding it very slow going having to look through the source code to figure out what class I should assign to my divs, lis, etc.
Anyone got any pointers?
Thanks in advance,
There is no real documentation per say, however check out
Best article about how to use jQTouch
for some useful tutorials.

Is there a good iphone sdk documentation site that provides good examples / common usage?

The problem? I look up stuff in the xcode documentation and find very useful lists of objects, methods, etc... But then I still have to go somewhere else to find useful example code of how to use that object. For example, I looked up NSNumber yesterday and found all of the neat stuff it can do, but I still had no clue how to use it. That's just an example. I'm sure I could read the objective c pdf front to back and learn something there (which I plan on doing) but what about later? When I'm looking up some UIKit object? Do I have to go find a tutorial each time (or lately, I just ask StackOverflow and you guys take care of me).
Is there a part of the apple website / xcode documentation that shows the example code I'm looking for?
Is there a wiki site out there or something that has what I'm looking for? (I just tried a simple google search "iphone sdk wiki". this site could be good. iphone sdk wiki . I'll check it out. Anyone else have one they like? )
This is also sort of a mild complaint to Apple. Why not a section on each code definition page that shows usage?
I've found the sample code section on Apple's iPhone Developer Connection be extremely useful not only for samples of complete applications but also a best practices source. Going through the code of The Elements, for example, will expose you to how to use particular classes as well as how to structure your code. It is a wonderful example of how to create a non-trivial iPhone app.
Look in developer.apple.com/iphone they have pretty good documentation (you can use the search bar there) on all the classes and have a lot of good sample code..
I really would emphasize the "Related sample code" section on many, if not most, of the documented classes.
But, IMHO, there isn't any easy way of acquiring the knowledge to develop in Cocoa/Cocoa Touch. The API's are so numerous that it simply takes a lot of time and experience. You just have to work on it, look at a lot of books and study the sample source code where available.
I've tried to take a purposeful approach by carving out some time every week to learning a new API/class irrespective of whether my current project needs it or not.
Alternatively, search Joe Hewitt. He's the developer for iPhone facebook. He has a project you can download that demonstrates all the features of facebook. It's an awesome open source project!
When you look something up in Xcode Developer Documentation, you sometimes get a Related Sample Code: text that tells you what Sample the method or property is used in. Too bad you can't click on it to see the code, but if you do click it takes you to the page to download the sample. – mahboudz 0 secs ago
Apple Developer site has all kinds of code examples. Try searching google for a UICatalog project, it will show you all the basic UI stuff you can do, like adding buttons and progressbars through using only code.
