Data Visualization Usage

Update on Project:

I have gathered some information to make the graphs for the population of Virginia and Alexandria City.  I am trying to make data visualizations of the population, the demography, and race of Alexandria City.  So far I have made graphs for everything but race.  I have been using population.us website to get my information on the numbers.  

I was introduced to Public Tableau by Professor Evans and I have to say, it is quite useful.  It is a bit tricky to use at first, but there are tutorials on the usage of the software.  Although the tutorials have been great, I've been just trying to learn as I go.  One can use HTML coding as well, but with Public Tableau it seems way easier.  I was able to download the software onto my MacBook.  I use Excel spreadsheets to download the data to make my graphs.  I've been using bar graphs, but for the race portion of my project, I am going to try using a pie graph.  Public tableau is also a very interesting site because it gives everyone the opportunity to post anything.  It is intriguing to see other people's works!
