DataGirls Present: How to Become Data Driven | Austin
About this event
You will learn a bit about history of data visualisation and BI. We will show you how to think and evaluate the balance between beautiful pictures and working BI tool and when/where to use each one of them.
Close to 70% of BI work is actually in data preparation. If you do not have data prepared (extracted, cleaned and connected) then there can be no data discovery. This part is also hardest to learn on your own. We will focus lots of our efforts on this, so when you leave @DataGirls you know why to do it.
“Lingua franca” of data is SQL. SQL materials will be provided however based on our time possibilities, we will not teach it. Your Keboola project will be prepared and from there we will dive into the visualization part to explore our data in Tableau. Do you know Tableau? No? Good! We will introduce this amazing tool!
There is plenty of time to ask, start discussion or simply play with data!
This event is open to both men & women with opportunities for networking! We look forward to welcoming you.
