He has been on a continuing quest to find and promote best graphic designs and practices for delivering visual data insights. His book is a long-in-the-making and gradually evolved guiding compendium of his design principles for communication-effective data visualization, with widely applicable examples. He shares his SAS software knowledge, experience, and ideas at conferences in the USA and overseas, and contributes quarterly articles to the VIEWS Newsletter for SAS users. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 621\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 04, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47212564775161,"sku":"9781484286081","price":70.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/V3ZCNnpYcDFKNjJGOGx1L3BvU2EvQT09.webp?v=1768094481","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/visual-data-insights-using-sas-ods-graphics-a-guide-to-communication-effective-data-visualization-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
