Overview of this book

Microsoft Visio Professional is a data visualization application that is used by many different market sectors and many different departments to represent information visually, from network infrastructure to organization charts, from process diagrams to office layouts.

Finally, you’ll find out how to deploy custom stencils, templates, and code.
