Today is the last day of 2017, another year in the books. It’s been a great year for the Big Data Beard team. We added 5 new members, launched the Big Data Beard podcast and lastly, we became community members of O’Reilly Media. All in all a fantastic and intense year.
Being that this is the last day of the year, I wanted to do a “Best Of 2017” to highlight some of the great blogs and podcasts the team created this year. Being that we are all about data and analytics these were chosen based on number of downloads/views.
