Product Description

In this insightful book, you'll learn from the best data practitioners in the field just how wide-ranging -- and beautiful -- working with data can be.

With Beautiful Data, you will:
  • Explore the opportunities and challenges involved in working with the vast number of datasets made available by the Web
