This post is motivated by the reading of cole nussbaumer knaflic’s Storytelling with data. Her book is aimed to visualization and presentation of quantitative data in the business context.

Here is a list of online resources about data visualization, infographics and how to present data-driven content. They are about how to present visual data in an appealing and informative way, in the context of business and media.
