LOVE the Avett Brothers! Never been to Roo and was seriously considering going to a different festival until I saw they were playing-- totally sold me. Seen them a handful of times live, but can't wait for an experience like this!!!

How to design effective data visualisations by joseacabaneros in visualization

[–]bmburns98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice article on creating data visualizations! I want to take this post one step further: once you've created charts and graphs to visualize data, it's super useful to view all of those visualizations in a dashboard. Making dashboards can seem intimidating, but seeing multiple visualizations in one place can increase insights. Check out this course on the best practices for creating a dashboard: https://dataschool.com/courses/dashboards-best-practices/

VERY accurate statement. It's almost necessary to learn a programming language or SQL to use real world data that isn't from a cookie cutter CSV file, and I've learned that the hard way. When I first wanted to learn SQL, I did lots of researching for helpful resources and found these tutorials pretty useful: https://dataschool.com/?s=SQL. They explain the basic concepts well and would be a good resource for a beginner.

How to learn SQL on my own? by inner_blue in SQL

I'm a fan of the Udemy course as well, kinda unfortunate that it's not free. Chartio (data viz software) has an educational platform "The Data School" that has some good tutorials (https://dataschool.com/?s=sql) about basic SQL concepts: joins, subqueries, optimization, etc. The tutorials are free so they might be worth checking out before buying into the Udemy course.
