Head First Data Analysis

Using Head First's unique visually rich format, this book guides people through every facet of data analysis so they can get more out of their company's data.



Organizations today collect an enormous amount of data, much of which goes unused (or undervalued) simply because the people who analyze it don't possess the proper techniques for finding prized nuggets or significant relationships among the data. With this book's proven and effective learning system, readers learn how to organize data, find patterns within it, and tell stories with data so that others can understand it.

Autorenporträt:

Michael Milton likes books. Before his first day of high school wrestling, he checked out a stack of books on technique from the library and practiced on his not-terribly-enthusiastic little sister. Then he spent the first few minutes of tryouts kicking the butts of other newbies, until the experienced wrestlers realized how much fun it would be to kick his. Within a few months, he became a decent wrestler, but he always stayed a bit ahead of the other newbies because of those books.



His life has consisted of gleefully going through that process over and over again in completely unrelated fields. Naturally, he's a Head First fanatic.



Until recently Michael spent most of time looking at databases to help nonprofit organizations figure out how to make more money. He has a degree in philosophy from New College of Florida and one in religious ethics from Yale University. When he's not in the library or the bookstore, you can find him in-line skating, taking pictures, and brewing beer.
