9 - Exercise Summary

What you built

• A flights analysis path including several boards to visualize and filter the data.
• Expression board that concatenates the origin and dest columns to make a single route column.
• Text boards are a way to add comments along your Contour path for other users to follow your analysis.
• Filter boards and Histograms can provide opportunities to further drill-down on your analysis.
• Joins are used to enrich our dataset.

What you learned

• Contour provides a point-and-click user interface to perform data analysis on tables at scale.
• The action ribbon houses many categories we can use to visualize and manipulate our data.
• Boards are the mechanism with which we can perform particular visualizations and manipulations.
• Joins should be saved for later in a Contour analysis to optimize our path.
