Silk and InfoTimes have partnered up to offer a series of free webinars and hands-on sessions to journalists who want to hack their data skills.  To sign up: register here. http://goo.gl/forms/LJnwvSqjyI  The webinars will teach journalists how to master the data publishing platform Silk. With Silk, data journalism is easy. And you can go from spreadsheet to analysis to publish-ready visualizations in minutes. Without the need to code a single line. What's more, Silk is free to use. The webinars will be held by Amr Eleraqi, founder and director of InfoTimes, and Alice Corona, Silk's in-house data journalist. The first webinar will show "how to use Silk to publish data-driven stories efficiently". At the end of the webinar, we'll ask users to come up with a dataset they'd like to see visualized.  The following webinar will look at how to transform a selection of these specific dataset(s) into a Silk project, with ready-to-publish visualizations. Users can either follow the chosen case study or apply the steps to their own data project. Silk's data journalist will be available also after the webinar, to offer personal assistance to those who wish to continue with their projects after the duration of the training. About Silk: Silk is a place to publish your data. Each Silk contains data on a specific topic. Anyone can explore a Silk and create interactive visualizations. Silk has been successfully used by The Guardian, The Washington Post, Mashable, IJNEt and Human Rights Watch. Here's a 80 second introduction on Silk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOJ5cXzEzf4 About InfoTimes: InfoTimes are a modern information design and data visualization agency in heart of Egypt with one common philosophy: data should be designed for sharing.
