This weeks Data Science Book is " Google BigQuery: The Definitive Guide " by V. Lakshmanan and J. Tigani. Google BigQuery is google's SQL based data warehousing and analysis solution that you can easily use in your own projects. Written by one of the early designers of BQ, this books provides a clear and in depth view of how to make the most out of this powerful system that is able to process terabytes of data in just a few seconds. The authors introduce each concept in a intuitive and didactic way, using simple examples that leverage public datasets you can easily run on your own. Overall an excellent first introduction and regular reference to one of the best data analysis systems available today.
