Welcome to the Data Wrangling Handbook! | School of Data - Learn how to find, process, analyze and visualize data. The School of Data Handbook is a companion text to the School of Data. Its function is something like a traditional textbook – it will provide the detail and background theory to support the School of Data courses and challenges. The Handbook should be accessible to all learners. It comes with a Glossary explaining the important terms and concepts. If you stumble across an unexplained term or a concept that requires more explanation, please do get in touch. The Handbook will guide you through the key stages of a data project.

And for open data to be relevant and meaningful, it must contribute to what people care about and need.

We wrote a few weeks ago that the private sector is increasingly using open data in ways that are not only commercially viable but also produce measurable social impact. What is missing is financing that can help catalyze the growth of data fueled businesses in emerging economies. Get Lat Lon - find the latitude and longitude of a point on a map.
