It was a great day, filled with inspiration. I had seen Tufte&#8217;s books before and read a lot about his theories and principles. I have been very inspired by a lot of them and I am trying to make use of them in my own book on &#8220;<strong><em>Applied Security Visualization<\/em><\/strong>&#8220;. Tufte has a certain way of pondering a topic that makes you think hard &#8211; even about the most controversial things; such as: &#8220;Forget PowerPoint&#8221;. He has some good arguments and maybe I will try some of his principles in my next presentation.<\/p>\n<p>I was definitely impressed with the two books he brought along to the course. He showed one of the first prints of Galileo&#8217;s book.  An absolutely beautiful piece of work! Notice how E.T. holds the book in his bare hands (picture below), while his assistant is wearing gloves.<\/p>\n<p>The other book he brought along was one of the first prints of Euclid&#8217;s book where all the Euclidean geometry is explained. Note the three-dimensional pyramids in the book. Amazing for a book that was printed hundreds of years ago!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/raffy.ch\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/img_0133.JPG\" title=\"img_0133.JPG\" border=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/raffy.ch\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/img_0133.thumbnail.JPG\" alt=\"img_0133.JPG\" style=\"margin: 10pt 10px 10px 10pt\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/raffy.ch\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/img_0127.JPG\" title=\"img_0127.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/raffy.ch\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/img_0127.thumbnail.JPG\" alt=\"img_0127.JPG\" style=\"margin: 10pt 10px 10px 10pt\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/raffy.ch\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/img_0130.JPG\" title=\"img_0130.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/raffy.ch\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/img_0130.thumbnail.JPG\" alt=\"img_0130.JPG\" style=\"margin: 10pt 10px 10px 10pt\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I finally attended Edward Tufte&#8217;s one-day visualization course.
