June 2023 meeting resources and follow-up

Hi everyone,

Thanks for attending today’s meeting with Andy Cotgreave. It was fantastic! If you couldn’t make it, the recording will be available on the DataFam Tableau User Groups YouTube page in a day or two.

I wanted to follow up with how you can follow Andy and share some resources he mentioned. He’s on Twitter and LinkedIn.

• New ways to visualize time - this post contains much of what Andy covered today.

• The Sweet Spot, Andy’s newsletter

• Using Augmented Reality for Touchless Interaction with Visualizations by Matthew Brehmer, Tableau Blog

• Chart Chat is always a fun time! Co-hosts: Steve Wexler, Amanda Makulec, and Jeffrey Shaffer

• The Big Book of Dashboards, Andy’s book co-authored with Jeffrey Shaffer and Steve Wexler

Other recommended books:

• How Charts Lie, Alberto Cairo

• Storytelling with Data, Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic

• Better Data Visualizations, Jonathan Schwabish

And some other resources I thought might be helpful…

• Build a cycle plot in Tableau, Andy Kriebel

• The Connected Scatterplot for Presenting Paired Timeseries, Steve Haroz, Robert Kosara, and Steven Franconeri (the New York Times example Andy showed us is here, too)

Our next meeting is on July 15. John McKenzie will present “How to Go Pro with Tableau.” Make sure you’re signed up with Bevy, the Tableau User Groups’ event platform and you’ve joined our group to receive invites. Here’s a short presentation I made to help folks get onboarded to Bevy.

Also, there are two job openings locally I was asked to share with the group.

2. FrankCrum, Data Analyst, Clearwater. This role is in-office. The salary range is $90-100K. If interested, reach out to Chris Smouse at Jobot (recruiter) via email.
