Every December, we here at DATAVERSITY set aside time to dig through our data and reflect on the hits and misses of the year. We want to know: Which content did you, our data-loving readers, consume and enjoy the most? Which Data Management topics and experts helped you learn valuable new skills, succeed at your job, or explore a new career path?
This year, in addition to continuing our transition back to in-person conferences, we focused on building our online presence: ramping up article and blog content, hosting educational webinars, offering new in-depth courses in our online training center, and launching a weekly podcast featuring different data people discussing how they got their start in the industry.
Read on for our top 20 articles and blog posts written and published in 2022, plus a few bonus lists, including our most popular webinars, on-demand learning plans, live online courses, and podcast episodes. There’s something for everyone, from Data Quality dimensions to graph databases to analytics trends to Data Modeling 101. Not surprisingly, the topics of Data Governance, Data Strategy, and Data Architecture all rank high, as organizations grapple with managing data regulations, privacy, and security in an increasingly data-driven world.
Check out the lists, then share your thoughts on LinkedIn or one of your favorite social media platforms. Did we cover all your favorite topics? What would you like to see more of (or less of) in the new year?
Note: While the live online trainings listed below all happened in 2022, we included links to courses that will be back by popular demand in 2023.
