What it’s About: 

To quickly get into the AI conversation, you need a clear and simple foundation of knowledge to build on. AI Literacy Fundamentals, our most recently published book, is a friendly primer on the basic concepts of AI, how it’s already snuck into our daily lives, and what we need to know to prepare for the future.

Praise for AI Literacy Fundamentals: “I’ve worked in AI for over 10 years and LOVE this book. It is my number 1 recommendation to anyone slightly interested in the field, or just looking to learn more about it. Ben does a fantastic job breaking down difficult concepts and making them easy to digest.” – Data Diva, posted to Amazon on May 22, 2024

Author: Alli Torban

What it’s About:

In this concise, actionable book, Alli Torban shares her journey from data analyst to creative information designer and distills years of experience and interviews with successful data visualization designers. If you work with data or data visualization and want to communicate with more impact, this book is for you.

Praise for Chart Spark: “I have a special place in my heart for how-to books that just deliver results, quickly and beautifully. Sure we all go to Youtube these days, but a well-written step-by-step guide with which you can sit and reflect and muse, is still something to prize. Alli Torban even gives you a 7-day guide for how to read her book in 30 minute chucks (at the most, 30 minutes) to squeeze most of the juice out of her book. And what juicy book it is.” -Steve Leveen (review left on Amazon on Feb 8, 2024)
