.@DoughertyJack and I decided to donate all our 2022 royalties from @OReillyMedia for Hands-On Data Visualization book to the organizations helping to defend and rebuild Ukraine.

@mradamcox @myersmaps @maptastik @ArcGISOnline @mema You're welcome! Thanks for reading and sharing HandsOnDataViz.org especially during openeducationweek.org #OEWeek 2021. @ilyankou @doughertyjack @OReillyMedia

#gischat I'm trying to update a layer in @ArcGISOnline using Google Sheets. I'm pulling power outage data into a Sheet (thanks @mema!) and publishing it as a hosted layer on AGOL. The spreadsheet is updating but the layer isn't. Anyone have any tips or workarounds?

@DoughertyJack @miriamkp My strategy to avoid cognitive overload with new #dataviz learners is to start with Google Sheets, then move to @Datawrapper for better charts (with annotations), mapping (especially choropleth), etc. See the transition in @HandsOnDataViz book at handsondataviz.org/chart-datawrap…

@miriamkp I agree that we need easy-to-learn dataviz tools that offer the option to summarize values. Here's our @HandsOnDataViz Google Sheets pivot table tutorial handsondataviz.org/pivot.html

You're welcome @rwells1961 ! We're currently revising the Hands-On Data Visualization book for publication with @OReillyMedia so we'd appreciate additional feedback on what's helpful or needed improvements. @AmeliaLBlevins

Send feedback as we revise our newly-titled book, Hands-On Data Visualization: Interactive Storytelling from Spreadsheets to Code, for publication with @OReillyMedia. Their cover will look much better! HandsOnDataViz.org #dataviz #OA @ilyankou @DoughertyJack @AmeliaLBlevins
