I did it myself last year and I recommend it to everyone interested in this field. From the teaching staff to the academic contents and methodology, all I can say are good reviews. Have a look to its website if you are interested.
At the end of the course we had to create a project of a non-trivial information visualisation based on the knowledge and assignments completed as part of the postgraduate. So my group created a blog to cover and explain all the work done, here below you can find the links (in spanish) for more info:
Lately I’m pleasantly surprised due to two great initiatives which demonstrate the interest that has Catalunya for the world of the open data and the data visualization.
The first one demonstrates how the catalan government is sensible about the value of providing data to the general public, businesses and other organisations so they would be able to re-use public sector data and create value.
The second one is from my point of view such an awesome project that needs an entire post but for the moment, remember that name and its concept: Impure, a visual programming interface designed to give non-programmers access to professional tools for data visualization. Users can use it to process and display data from social media feeds, financial information and more.
The government of Catalonia has launched Gencat Open Data, an open government data portal where information of a public nature is published with the goal of fostering the use and reuse of information that comes from the administration. This portal groups together all the Government’s open data initiatives into a single catalogue, and adds the most important information associated with them for reuse purposes.
Today I’ve attended the MadeInFlex onsite IV, an event where some Adobe Platform evangelists have been talking about the last features of AIR 2.5, Flash Player 10.1 for Android, the integration between Flex 4 and Flash professional and other interesting stuff.
I’ve really got impressed about the posibilities that Flash and P2P can offer together. Specially interesting it has been the demo of Mark Doherty, showing how comunicate via p2p a laptop with an Android mobile device, using a second Android mobile device as a net access point. It was just a demo built with the AIR 2.5 beta but it shows what this technology can offer in reponse to other similiar technologies (the video chat FaceTime for Iphone). Mark shows this in a video on his Flash Mobile Blog.
First things first, what’s a jagged array?
A jagged array is an array whose elements are arrays. The elements of a jagged array can be of different dimensions and sizes. A jagged array is sometimes called an “array of arrays.”
Recently I’ve been playing with FLARTooKit and I found this function into the class ArrayUtils.as.
