• 37signals announces next ONCE product: Workbooks, to release for free

  "But it's surprisingly challenging to publish books on the web in nice, cohesive, tight, easy-to-navigate HTML format." Quarto is one great option for doing that today. Bonus: it can also generate EPUBs and PDFs, all from one set of source files. https://quarto.org/ It's free and open source. https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli https://jjallaire.github.io/hopr/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• Ask HN: Best way for a Markdown based blog and eBook?

  I've used Quarto[1] to build a personal blog and it has been really easy and straightforward. Especially if you want to run some code alongside the post (like Python, R, or Julia). As far as I know, you can also use it to write books and presentations. [1]: https://quarto.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• Scipy 1.13

  > Interactive examples have been added to the documentation, allowing users to run the examples locally on embedded Jupyterlite notebooks in their browser. This might sound strange, but to me this is the most exciting thing listed in the update document. I've been looking for ways to include _interactive_ Python scripts on static webpages (such as those made using Jupyter Book [1] or Quarto [1]. Up to now the only... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  Deckset was the OG in this space, which I used a decade (!) ago in college. Looks like they moved off the Mac App Store, and are bringing out an iOS app now: https://www.deckset.com Now I much prefer something like https://quarto.org with dataviz. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  To mirror another comment: I really like the concept and will give it a try. As an alternative, I want to suggest [Quarto](https://quarto.org) - somewhat similar, easy to use, one might even call it "basic" (I mean that in a good way!) 7/5 ^^. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Tableau Certified Data Analyst Exam Readiness

  Hey everyone, I'm interested in taking the Tableau Certified Data Analyst Exam Readiness course through tableau.com to prepare and get Tableau certified. I had some questions about the course, such as are the videos pre recorded or in person, do you have access to the material once the 90 days expire, and I was also wondering if anyone had input/advice for this course. Thanks! Source: 10 months ago

• Where to publish knowledge sharing on Tableau reverse engineering and data dictionary generation?

  Could anyone recommend what media I should approach to publish my work (internet or print). I could try the Tableau forum in tableau.com but it's not very active + Tableau may be unappreciative as my work overlaps with their (pricey) data management solution. Plus it needs to be some high visibility / reputable media to count for my career development. Any recommendations welcome thanks!!! Source: over 1 year ago

• I have huge loads of data in Redshift. How can I make this available to end-users after performing few procs and queries? It should be available online.

  Tableau public: tableau.com. Big player but your data will be made public and not really user-friendly data model. Source: about 2 years ago

• What tips do you have on evaluating various BI tools for business needs? What are the essential criteria's you would include when evaluating different tools? The goal is to have an unbiased, objective approach.

  For example, we have a project to compare Tableau, Power BI, and InetSoft. The need for strong pagination-based email delivery eliminated Tableau. AWS's Linux instance is the targeted platform which makes Power BI less than ideal. Source: over 2 years ago

• Anyone go into Data Analytics after this program?

  I just started learning Tableau because our dept is transitioning into Tableau from Power BI. Since I already have years of experience with Power BI I just went over their tutorials from tableau.com and got onboarded pretty quick. I'm still learning it but I'm at least able to build out reports and get things done. Its not too difficult to pickup one BI tool when you have experience with another. Source: over 2 years ago
