At the Guardian Open Weekend Kathryn Hurley from Google and Simon Rogers, editor of the Guardian's Datablog, ran a session on using data and working with Google Fusion Tables.
Kathryn Hurley has helpfully published her workshop notes on Google Fusion Tables online. They act as a step-by-step guide to getting started in data journalism using the free software from Google.
Simon Rogers has also published his slides on Fusion Tables and an explanation of how the Guardian uses data.
Journalism.co.uk runs training courses in data journalism led by Kevin Anderson. There are two levels: introduction to data journalism, being held on 9 or 28 May, and intermediate data journalism, which will run on 29 May.
Those looking to expand their skills quickly can book on one of the introduction to data journalism courses and the intermediate course. If you book both options the cost is at the reduced rate.
This is the last time we will be offering this course led by Kevin Anderson due to his commitments – so take advantage of the final opportunity to learn from this former BBC and Guardian journalist.
