★★★★☆
QuickStart Guide to (Ultra-)High Performance Visualizations offers a compelling take on Data Visualization, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Real-Time Charts is excellent, I found the sections on Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Programming that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Real-Time Charts more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Real-Time Charts will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Programming, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved QuickStart Guide to (Ultra-)High Performance Visualizations! It completely changed my perspective on Data Visualization. At first I wasn't sure about Data Visualization, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Programming is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Big Data. What I appreciated most was how the book made Data Visualization feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
