One of the most influential data visualization books—updated with new techniques, technologies, and examples. Visualize This demonstrates how to explain data visually, so that you can present and communicate information in a way that is appealing and easy to understand. Today, there is a continuous flow of data available to answer almost any question. Thoughtful charts, maps, and analysis can help us make sense of this data. But the data does not speak for itself. As leading data expert Nathan Yau explains in this book, graphics provide little value unless they are built upon a firm understanding of the data behind them. Visualize This teaches you a data-first approach from a practical point of view. You'll start by exploring what your data has to say, and then you'll design visualizations that are both remarkable and meaningful. With this book, you'll discover what tools are available to you without becoming overwhelmed with options. You'll be exposed to a variety of software and code and jump right into real-world datasets so that you can learn visualization by doing. Details tools that can be used to visualize data graphics for reports, presentations, and stories, for the web or for print, with major updates for the latest R packages, Python libraries, javascript libraries, illustration software, and point-and-click applications.

This book focuses on the utilization of GoldenGate Services (GGS) in conjunction with a microservices architecture on the Oracle cloud (OCI), primarily for data migration and integration across various data sources and targets. The book begins with a practical example of utilizing GGS on a Marketplace VM, progressively advancing to in-depth discussions on implementing GoldenGate as a Service on OCI. The book offers illustrative guides for data replication between RDBMSs (such as Oracle, Postgres, and big data targets such as Kafka). Additionally, it explores monitoring techniques using Enterprise Manager and Grafana dashboards. A comparative analysis is presented between traditional VM-based GoldenGate installations and the OCI service model. Special attention is given to Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM) and leveraging GGS for database migration from on-premises to OCI. Some chapters address multi-cloud replication using OCI GGS and include real-life case studies. By the end of this book you will have gained comprehensive insights into the architectural design of GoldenGate Services and will be adept at replicating data using GGS, enabling you to replicate setups in your own environments. Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) is a software solution for real-time data integration and replication. It allows organizations to capture, transform, and move transactional data from one database to another, across different platforms and data environments, with minimal latency and impact on system performance. This ensures that databases remain synchronized, facilitating high availability, data migration, and real-time analytics.

MySQL is one of the most popular database management systems available, powering everything from Internet powerhouses to individual corporate databases to simple end-user applications, and everything in between. This book will teach you all you need to know to be immediately productive with the latest version of MySQL. By working through 30 highly focused hands-on lessons, your MySQL Crash Course will be both easier and more effective than you'd have thought possible. MySQL is a DBMS; that is, it is database software. MySQL has been around for a long time, and it is now installed and in use at millions of installations worldwide. Why do so many organizations and developers use MySQL? Here are some of the reasons: MySQL is open source, and it is usually free to use and even modify the software; MySQL is fast—make that very fast; MySQL is used by some of the most important and prestigious organizations and sites, all of which entrust it with their critical data. MySQL is easy to install and get up and running. In fact, historically the only real criticism of MySQL has been that it has not always supported the functionality and features offered by other DBMSs. But as new features have been added to each new version, that has changed, and it continues to do so.
