Introduction to Visual Analytics with Tableau (Part 2 of 3) (Data, Maps, Treemaps, and Timelines)

This video is part two of a three-part visual analytics software tutorial series. In the series, I will give you an introduction to visual analytics using the Tableau Software. If you want to learn how to use interactive visual interfaces such as geographic maps, timelines and treemaps to derive insights from data, this tutorial is for you!
In this visual analytics software tutorial series, I'll first give you an introduction to the idea of visual analytics which is often summarized as the use of visual interactive interfaces that are used to derive insights from large volumes of data.
After that I'll give you an overview of the Tableau Software which is an industry-leading visual analytics software. I'll show you some of Tableau’s key features that hopefully will inspire you to work with different forms of data end to create interactive visualization that help you find Trends and patterns in your data.
If you're brand-new to Tableau I'll first go over some key Tableau Concepts as Tableau is a very specialized software with its own vocabulary of terms. Some of them are similar to software you may be familiar with like Microsoft Excel the Tableau really is its own unique environment to work in.
The remainder of the video series will then focus on a visual analytics case study tutorial where I’ll show you how you can apply the concepts of visual analytics in Tableau to create dashboards for investigating COVID vaccination records. Specifically, I will use a publicly available COVID vaccination data set for this tutorial so you can gain some hands-on experience working with a real-world data set so you can begin to learn digital analytics skills.
