A nice outline of the field, but I could have used more "where to go next" advice. There are no references, notes, nor bibliography, and the ebook lacks an author's bio as well. Who is Daniel Covington and why should we rely on him?

There's no math or algorithms here - just high-level descriptions about how analytics can be useful.

In one of our subject in college I used this book as a reference and I am thankful indeed to Covington as everything about Analytics has been explained to me in full details with an in depth manner that I was able to comprehend its true essence. With the aid of this book I learned the basics of Data Science as it is easy to read that it touched down variety of academic disciplines, including business, computer science, statistics, in relation to the idea of discovering new insights and ideas from data gathering. All in all this is a very informative book analytics has been so simple for me and thus helped me a lot passed this subject during my college days.

Mr. Covington has clearly mastered a technique I longed for during my college days: to fill an insane amount of pages with zero actual content.

Realizing this book had chapters on predictive analysis and R was pretty much what sealed the purchase; my hopes were that of learning techniques with practical examples, and what I got in return were a few pages with a content so poor that would make a Business Administration introductory course teacher proud.

I've got a pretty solid decade's worth of work experience which might've led most of the content being obvious to me, but then again the title is absurdly misleading and I felt as though I've been ripped off.

This is a great book to read! Becoming a boss is not that easy especially if you are fully equipped and knowledgeable enough about business. Planning your own business is a must and need to study and understand first before pursuing such. With the help of his book, everything you need and want to learn will be provided. Included here the data analysis that sometimes everyone found it more difficult to handle. Also some tips and techniques to sustain success. I do hope that everyone will read this book as their guide to business success.

I think anything I got out of this book was entirely coincidental. This is a much fluffier book on analytics than I was thinking it would be. Definitely not for a stats or math person. Might be good for someone who has just learned the term Analytics.

Eh...it was a decent enough primer, but not a lot of substance.
