Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Manu Jeevan.

International Code Talk Like A Pirate Day almost slipped by without me noticing (September has been a crazy busy month), but it popped up in the calendar notifications today and I was glad that I had prepped the meat of a post a few weeks back.

Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. Big Data is amazing. It describes our everyday behavior, keeps track of the places we go, stores what we like to do and how much time we spend doing our favorite activities. Big Data is made of numbers, and I think we all agree when we say: Numbers are difficult to look at. Enter Big Data visualization. Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Twitter and Netflix all ask better questions of their data – and make better business decisions – by using data visualization.
