Books
Visualizing Data
I recently finished Visualizing Data for O'Reilly. It was published in December 2007 and can be found at Amazon and elsewhere. The book covers the data visualization process (Chapter 1), and a couple projects you'll find on this site, such as Salary vs. Performance (Chapter 4), Zipdecode (Chapter 6), and Anemone (Chapter 8). More about the book can be found in the writing section of the site.

Processing Book

Processing
The Processing book from MIT Press is now available! Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production.
