Ask HN: Learning Resources for Dashboard Design

9 points·aliasxneo··3 comments

I'm looking for recommendations on resources that will help improve the skill of creating effective dashboards. It's an interesting area considering it crosses the boundary of statistics, UX, and knowledge sharing. I often know what a good dashboard looks like when I see it, yet I often can't pinpoint exactly what makes it good.

Can anyone recommend some books, blog posts, etc. on this topic?

Just to clarify, dashboards in the sense of monitoring/grafana?

In that case reading about RED/USE (https://medium.com/thron-tech/how-we-implemented-red-and-use...) was a real eye-opener.

Edward Tufte, The Visual Display of Quantitative Information.

It’s probably smart to browse his other titles, Tufte is the Knuth of his field.

Stephen Few, Information Dashboard Design, published by O'Reilly
