008  |  Interview with Jeff Heer

We are raising the bar here! In this new episode we have Jeff Heer, Assistant Professor at Stanford and creator of 4 (!) data visualization toolkits/languages (Prefuse, Flare, Protovis, D3). Jeff is a very well regarded researcher in the area of visualization, user interfaces and human-computer interaction. If you don't know him yet we strongly encourage you to give a look at his projects web page. You'll find lots of cool stuff there like his studies on Graphical Perception and Wrangler, a data pre-processing tool. We talk about the past, present and future of visualization; everything dressed with LOLs, a bit of gossip and...one scoop at the end of the podcast!
