Affinity Bridge's Mack Hardy presented at Net Tuesday Vancouver's February 2013 event about using maps to visualize data. Mack talked about maps and putting large amounts of data onto web-based maps, how to get more information onto maps, and some other ways we can dynamically visualize data using opensource javascript libraries like http://d3js.org/ and http://raphaeljs.com/

Net Tuesday co-organizer Amy Kleckner collected Mack's slides, a screencast of his demonstrations, a presenter video, photos and the event's tweets into a storify. Enjoy!
