Summary

Visualization is a tool used to help the viewer understand data that simple text or numbers in a table can't convey. Also, visual data is much more quickly processed than text (15x faster per an MIT Neuroscience study). It is hard to argue that visualization is not a technique that should be used by each and every data analyst. BigQuery, in conjunction with visualization tools such as Google Data Studio, Tableau, or the R programming language, can be used by analysts to help convey meanings in data that might otherwise be overlooked, undermined, or misunderstood.

Google Cloud Platform for Architects

Google Cloud Platform for Architects

The Google Cloud Platform is fast emerging as a leading public cloud provider. The GCP, as it is popularly known, is backed by Google's awe-inspiring engineering expertise and infrastructure and is able to draw upon the goodwill and respect that Google has come to enjoy. The GCP is one of a handful of public cloud providers to offer the full range of cloud computing services, ranging from IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) to PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service). There is another reason the GCP is fast gaining popularity; genre-defining technologies such as TensorFlow and Kubernetes originated at Google before being open-sourced, and the GCP is a natural choice of cloud on which to run them. If you are a cloud professional today, time spent on mastering the GCP is likely to be an excellent investment.
