Well… It has been a
rather long time since I last posted on here… Hopefully that is going to change. But in the meantime if you are eager for some
more Alteryx related blogging content, there is a new blog in town by Alteryx’s
very own CTO Ned Harding. (http://alteryxned.wordpress.com). There has already been a number of great Alteryx related posts and also some more personal posts on
teaching kids to program.
Alteryx highlight’s include:
- Reading XLSX Directly
- Ensuring fields are in a data stream (great for macro authoring)
- Dot Density Maps
- Weighted Median
And the August monthly round up is a great place to start too.
There is also a blog post about creating this rather
beautiful satellite night style map (above right) showing UK demographic data.
Which brings me very nicely to a more personal announcement. As long time followers of this blog will
recall, I moved from the UK to Boulder, Colorado to work for Alteryx as a
software developer. Well I have now
relocated back to the UK mainly because of this next picture.
No not "Big Data Analytics For Dummies". (Although it is a great little publication
and well worth a read. If you haven’t
already downloaded it already you can get a copy here). But rather the model in the shot: my daughter Ida. My wife and I thought with
it being our first child it might be helpful to have free baby sitting, in the
form of Grandparents, a little closer than a nine hour flight away! So I am back in the UK, but very thankfully still
working for Alteryx (I mean where else would I want to work?) and currently
living in Cambridge: Silicon valley of
the UK as I like to tell my American friends.
(For anyone who has visited Silicon Valley and Cambridge, I think you will agree that there really is
no need for further comment on the subject).
So if anyone feels like talking Alteryx or data (Or just
joining some data minded people for a beer) you will find me a regular at the
Data Insight’s meet ups in Cambridge http://www.meetup.com/Data-Insights-Cambridge/ (I say regular. I’ve been to one and it was interesting
enough that I’m going to the next one).
Look out for a post soon on the new layout features of
Alteryx 8.5, which was rather current six months ago when I first wrote it and
not so much now… But hey it’s almost
finished already and it gets me off to a rolling start…
Till then
Adam
