DATA RIVER

This is yet another book on “DATA” – I know there are 1000s of books in the Market (or libraries?) on this subject, yet my humble attempt to author this book. In my 3 decades of journey as a Data Practitioner to Data Practice Lead, I realize that most of these books deal with only certain aspects of data (be it Technology Dimension or Management dimension); of course, they go deep on the selected dimension. For example, there are books that cover Database Administration or Data Visualization or Data Science in greater details. In my observation, most of the Professionals that work in “data” and have built their careers around data also carry the same traits i.e., they develop deep expertise in couple of select functions that involve data technologies or data management. This book seeks to provide a practical view of data and helps the reader to develop perspectives around few additional foundation topics in data, if not all, and orients the reader to seek more knowledge on various dimensions of data.
