Who this book is for

This book is intended for a wide range audience. Technical folks, whether they be BI developers, data scientists, or even data analysts, will find the chapters based on D3.js, Python, and R right up their alley as they are based heavily on building BI applications with open source technology. More business-savvy folks may find more interest in data discovery desktop tools such as Tableau, Power BI, and QlikSense that are not heavily reliant on code. If you are a business intelligence manager looking to establish a department with a variety of tools to help flesh out your requirements, this book could serve as a good source for interview questions to weed out unqualified candidates.
