Digital Humanities Now Top 10 CSS Table Designs Datafication: How the Lens of Data Changes How We See Ourselves Digital media allow us to produce, collect, organise and interpret more data about our lives than ever before. Our every digital interaction contributes to vast databases of information that index our behaviour from online movie choices to mapping networks of connections across Twitter. In an age of uncertainty, big data sets promise to provide an objective lens through which to understand the world, and both individuals and institutions like schools are turning to data to drive analysis and action. But what does this increasing datafication mean for how we understand the world, and how we understand learning? Learning to Read Digital Data Data can be reassuring. But our interpretation of data is also skewed by how that data is represented. Data Reflects the Past and Drives Future Behaviour As we engage in online activity, we leave trails of data in our wake that are added to the huge databases held by Facebook, Google and marketing companies.

Graphic Sociology » Seeing Social Data Cairo, Alberto. (2013) The Functional Art: An introduction to information graphics and visualization. Berkeley: New Riders, a division of Pearson. Overview A functional art is a book in divided into four parts, but really it is easier to understand as only two parts. The second part of the book is a series of interviews with journalists, designers, and artists about graphics and the work required to make good ones. The second is a set of photographs taken of a clay model by Juan Velasco and Fernando Baptista of National Geographic that was used to recreate an ancient dwelling place call Gobekli Tepe that was in what is now Turkey. As a sociologist I am accustomed to reading interviews and am fascinated by the convergence and divergence in the opinions represented. There is a fifth part to the book, too, a DVD of Cairo presenting the material covered in the first three chapters of the book. What does this book do well? Diversity What doesn’t this book do well?

How to Get Started With CSS I've already discussed how you can learn to code for free using languages such as Ruby and JavaScript, but this time we'll explore an even more basic language that can help to make your websites pop.

This guide tells you everything you need to know to get started making better-looking websites fast. What Is CSS? Many people just getting to know CSS think of it as a fancy way of handling HTML properties such as text formatting and background images--and for small-scale examples on simple pages, that's largely true. What makes CSS worthwhile is the number of design options it opens up for you that are difficult--or impossible--to accomplish with HTML alone. For a full list of CSS properties, you can check out a handy glossary on Dochub, but for now let's look at just two of the more interesting ones.
