• Sept 12: Visualizing Code: It's Graphs All the Way Down
  Many people misunderstand code by thinking of it as just flat text. While it might look like the contents of a novel, code actually functions more like a choose-your-own-adventure book! But in order to truly understand this, it helps to have a picture... which is what this talk is about!

  Join data viz experts Steve Wexler, Jeff Shaffer, Andy Cotgreave, and Amanda Makulec as they discuss the good, the bad, and the scaredy cats of data visualization.
