I’m Dan, the man with the plan! That’s what everybody calls me. Mostly because I’m gonna be a millionaire, and I’ve got plans to do it. At least that’s what I thought until Pablo and his gang of knuckleheads sabotaged my lemonade stand. The next thing I knew, the Mayor was on my case and I had the whole city thinking I was a loser. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any crazier, the most amazing person in the world entered the picture. That’s when things really got nuts!

It follows their journey through data input and storage, data quality, data pipeline work, data analysis and use cases.

As a child in the late 1800s, Horace Pippin loved to draw: He loved the feel of the charcoal as it slid across the floor. He loved looking at something in the room and making it come alive again in front of him. He drew pictures for his sisters, his classmates, his co-workers.
Even during W.W.I, Horace filled his notebooks with drawings from the trenches . . . until he was shot. Upon his return home, Horace couldn't lift his right arm, and couldn't make any art. Slowly, with lots of practice, he regained use of his arm, until once again, he was able to paint--and paint, and paint!
