PickVidsBest Data visualization & information design Videos
「Data visualization & information design」下面有53部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象：入门1部，适合还没学过的人；进阶8部，适合已经懂术语的人；普通向44部，按兴趣就能看；更硬的0部，留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是演讲，所以它们的共同点是一位讲者把一个判断讲完，例子是为了撑住这个判断。常出现的频道包括TED、Colin McDonnell、Enthought。目录给这个主题划的范围是：Data visualization: charts, maps, infographics, Edward Tufte, Hans Rosling, interactive visualization, D3, time-lapse data art, visual explanations of data.如果只看三部，就从《A Better Default Colormap for Matplotlib | SciPy 2015 | Nathaniel Smith and Stéfan van der Walt》开始，它负责把问题讲出画面；然后看《Hans Rosling's 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes - The Joy of Stats - BBC》，换一种讲法或例子；最后看《DON'T PANIC — Hans Rosling showing the facts about population》，留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开，顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月，不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明，用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看，把引用当成只是拿来举例，把批评留下来对照，不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
