Course Syllabus ZTC

A comprehensive, 15-chapter roadmap designed to build a strong technical base in data visualization. Free to use, free to learn.

To make evaluating these materials as easy as possible, I’m including the Course Syllabus ZTC here as a Word document. Because the Squarespace Course player requires an email login, this allows you to check out the curriculum without having to sign up.

As a parent with a daughter in college, I know students don’t have a lot of time, and costs can be prohibitive. That’s why each challenge is cross-referenced to the textbook for those who adopt it. My education as an author included the unpleasant realization that authors are 100% responsible for updating index page numbers. I hunkered down and took two weeks' vacation (muttering non-stop about all the index entries I insisted on keeping.) Now, I'm darn proud of the thorough index and detailed Table of Contents, and I know it will help students find answers quickly.

Anyway, the YouTube videos, website materials, and hands-on exercises are entirely independent. You can use the labs on their own, or pair them with Tableau at Work for a more comprehensive learning experience—the choice is yours.
