My review of Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing

Posted by Frankie Wright 24 hours ago

As a senior developer, I'm often skeptical of technical books, but Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing surprised me. The authors don't just explain how things work—they explain why they work that way, which is crucial for truly understanding these concepts. The sections on Media Literacy are worth the price alone.

After reading Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing, I finally understand concepts that had confused me for years. The authors have a gift for breaking down complex topics into digestible pieces without losing the nuance. This is now my go-to recommendation for developers looking to level up their skills.
